Carolyn cherished the times she spent with her family and friends and counted it as a blessing from God.  Even in declining health she always looked forward to the visits from them.

So many people had a hand in caring for Mrs. Carolyn in the last few years.  Her family would like to thank the family, friends, doctors, nurses, caregivers, drivers, and many others who took time to care and serve her.  Even though she will be missed, we know she was loved and that she loved each one of you.
