TO all of the Drake family , so sorry for your loss. Such a great woman , I used to love walking down the street and hanging out with the whole Drake Family. So many great , fun , loving memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. One of my all time favorites was going with my mom over there almost every Christmas holiday , and baking cookies with all the girls. Such a beautiful family. Love you all !!! May God be with you during this sad time. Love, "chubby Cheeks"....

My first knowledge of Carolyn was when I was writing a column for the local paper and I announced that she has given birth to twins, she already had a set at home and another child all under the age of 5. All I could think of was diapers!!! With all her children she always became the block mother. I have missed her beauty over the past years when she moved from Crestwood but will miss her more now that she has moved to heaven. God only picks the most beautiful flowers from lifes garden to adorn the heavens,
