Otis I just heard about Carolyn this morning. I am so sorry and my prayers go to you "Baby Booty" and the rest of your family. Carolyn was a" Lady" in the true sense of the word. I remember Christmas Day 1965 when I tried to show how much booze was not my friend. I decided well I will go and visit Carolyn and Otis.Carolyn welcomed me at the door and invited me in. I am sure she chewed your butt after you two got rid of me but she remained a caring friend to me the entire time I tormented you guys.Have a good journey my dear Carolyn.

Otis and family my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am currently in Tennessee so I cannot make it to the funeral but I will be there in spirit. Otis you were a wonderful and loving husband to Carolyn for 50 years and what you both shared is very rare...unconditional love for one another. I know it is going to be very difficult but time will help ease the pain and the wonderful memories will remain forever until you meet again. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Always your friend, Linda West.

Deepest sympathy to the Fowler family. We have missed seeing Carolyn at the beauty shop when she brought her mother in. She was such a sweet person and we enjoyed talking to her each week. I know she will be truly missed.
