Our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Miss Carolyn. We were next door neighbors for only a short time. But, in a very quiet way, she looked out for us and we looked out for her. We knew that she was making plans to return to her earthly home. That was not to be. However, she is at home -her eternal home. No more worries, no more sickness-just perfect peace. Rest in Christ, Miss Carolyn.
