Carolyn will be missed as she was out and about the Yellow Retirement apartments with her 2 dogs. She was friendly with everyone. I wish all the family comfort in the many memories of Carolyn.

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.

May God Comfort and watch over the Johnson Family. We became good friends, more like family, after meeting at the Turnstone, where Andre and Colonial were attending. We enjoyed the warm welcoming visits at the home. We shared laughter, love,and going out to dinner. Andre, remember we are always here for you. Love Colonial & Anita

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.
