Mary Lou and family, I am so sorry to learn that Carolyn has passed. My sadness,however, is tempered by the assurrance that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Father. Carolyn is a peace. I pray for that same peace in your hearts and for those of us who loved her. She will be greatly missed.
