I was blessed to grow up attending CCC, surrounded by many loving and faithful families. Time passes and people move away but some things remain constant. Carolyn was one of the constants. Although I rarely saw her, when I did, she was there with a smile, a pleasant conversation and a pat on the hand. I count Carolyn as one of the early building blocks in the foundation of who I am today. For that, I am thankful.
I pray that our Heavenly Father wrap his arms around Carolyn's family and friends during the days ahead and provides them with strength and comfort.
