I was so sad to hear Carolyn had passed. Having
taught Camie last year, I had the pleasure of
getting to know her. She always had a smile and
some sort of dessert for me. I always enjoyed
spending time talking with her and hearing her
wisdom of years of teaching. She will be dearly
missed. May God bless your family during this
difficult time.

Our hearts go out to Doyle, family, and friends. Carolyn was such a lovely lady, good friend to many, and a blessing wherever she went. Missing her will be difficult but I know the memories will be rich. May God cover you in His tender mercies as you go forward. Heaven has gained a Saint.

Doyle and family: So sorry to hear of Carolyn's
passing. We were good friends in high school. She
was always so nice to me and fun to be around in
those days I had not seen her in a long time but
when I did she was always the same. May God
comfort you during this time.
