Dear Angie, Renita and Donnie,
Carolyn was my friend. I hope that your memories of your Mother will help you through this time of loss.

My sympathies to Carolyn's family. I share your loss. When I worked with Carolyn many years ago, not only was Carolyn a helper to me but she was a helper to my whole family. Many times my three young sons would call looking for me, but they really wouldn't need me because Carolyn would be there to provide them the help or advice they were seeking. We all will always remember Carolyn for her friendliness and care, and realize how fortunate we were to know her.

Carolyn, I will remember your grace and friendship. You were a source of inspiration to many. You always knew how to find the answer to my questions. I have thought of you often since I retired. My sincerest thoughts are with
your family (though they do not know
me) at this time of sorrow. I will ask
God to grant them stength during this most trying time. You are now truly one of God's Angels.
