I've known Carolyn all my life. Her mother and my grandmother were best friends. Carolyn was such a sweet loving person and always fun to be around. I will always cherish those years of memories. I miss seeing her every Sunday morning in church as we worshiped. Even though we recently moved from the area, we will always miss those dear friends that are no longer with us.
