See Condolences

Carolyn and I were friends from Junior High on. I am praying for her as well as all her family and friends. Carolyn was a very smart, accomplished woman and I am proud to have been called a friend of her's. My heart goes out to all who grieve over her loss.

I felt a great sadness when Paul telephoned to tell me of Carolyn's death (my friend since elementary school). For family and friends remaining on earth her passing is missing a great part in our lives. For Carolyn who trusted our Savior and Lord Jesus and has crossed over to Heaven it is a gain. Nothing else will ever spoil her peace and happiness - no storm clouds will arise - she is just away. She was loving, wise, loyal, displaying a servanthood heart to all who knew her and I will cherish these memories of her blessings to each of us.

We are so sad to hear of Carolyn's passing. She was our neighbor in Midland on Imperial for many years while Stacy and Paul grew up together. May God bless Paul and his family during this difficult time, with the strength that only God can provide. We send our prayers to them.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
