So sorry for your lose. Carolyn and I have been friends since 1st grade. We always had some good laughs and enjoyed each others company. She stood up with me when I was married (1960). I will miss her, too. God bless you all.

Carolyn was the first friend I made when I moved into my yellow apartment close to hers. We walked our dogs together, gave each other gardening tips, and had many laughs. I will miss seeing her, and Ruby and Rainy on my walks.
