These folks were also her ''family.''

I always looked forward to seeing you mornings at the Hart Center. We enjoyed a good relationship over the years! I certainly miss you and it's going to take some time to move forward without you. Your little dog probably cannot adjust to your absence, and neither can I.

I fell in love with Carolyn the first time I met her at Thursday Pool at the VFW. I dubbed her "Charlie" and always called her that. Why Because my dad's name was Charlie whom I loved dearly and loved Carolyn dearly. She will be greatly missed by all but will always remain in our hearts.
