Carolyn and I were classmates of the class of 1959 at Austin High School. We attended Maynard Elementary School together and became lifelong friends. The photograph on her obituary captured the true essence of her personality. After our last conversation, she sent me a beautiful floral arrangement for my birthday.
She often spoke so proudly and lovingly of her boys and her grandchildren. I will miss her as all who knew her will. My heart is saddened by her passing. I extend my sincere condolences, blessings and love to her family. Heaven is welcoming a new angel.
I am saddened by Carolyn’s passing. I am praying for the family during your season of loss. I will always remember her and her kind spirit.
