Carolyn was always enthusiastic and cheerful when ever I saw her. She was a friend of my family as they all attended HPark and SMU. No doubt she will be missed. My deepest sympathy to Cathy, Clif and all her family.

I remember the joy she brought by just walking into a room. The world was a better place with her in it ! Now heaven has another star ! Many blessings to her family. Love,Debbie Goodwin Lloyd
