Many blessings and my deepest sympathy at the passing of Carolyn. I taught her in the eighth grade at Wiley Middle School in 1968. We remained friends throughout the years. She never failed to reach out and touch or speak wherever we were. Iām very saddened by her passing.
True love never dies. A true sister in Christ that always reached to help others. My heart is broken but my spirits embraces you forever. Thanks for the love that Granny and I felt truly blessed to feel. I love you sister.
