Carolyn was such a kind, caring and wonderful friend. Her heart was huge she was so giving. I loved Carolyn so very much, she will be missed.
I will remember the time when she prayed over me and put her hand on me. The true power and love of God showed through. I got stronger and I stabilized. The power of her faith and love for God showed through that day as I got off of the oxygen and heart monitor. She was a fun loving person and was a great cook. Getting to wrap all the Christmas presents with her was a big but enjoyable task. Thanks for the memories and the songs you sang you had a unique voice and I will always remember the song poorbabes in the woods.
I have wonderful memories with her. She had a laugh like no other. Her cooking was awesome and I had so much fun with this family growing up. She will be greatly missed. Prayers to all.
