When we were "church shopping" in January, 2013, Buddy and Carolyn were getting out of their car at Carteret Street Church as we were one sunny Sunday morning. We asked where Sunday school classes were held. They immediately welcomed us, introduced themselves and led us upstairs to the classrooms. We joined Carteret Street largely because of their continued friendliness. They introduced us to the congregation the Sunday we joined. For the next two years we four occupied the same pew. Carolyn and I were in the same women's circle. I remember her marvelous smile, quiet voice and "Southern charm." She and Buddy "soldiered on" during her illness, changing her hairstyle so it was easier for her to care for. Carolyn was a gentle lady who always made me feel happy when I saw her at Carteret Street, on Sunday mornings, at the Wednesday night dinners and at special events. I will miss her. Buddy took such devoted and loving care for her as her health declined. Buddy proudly lived his marriage vows, "In sickness and in health."
