I am Sorry for the loss of yer Mother. Always Know in yer Hearts,that Carolyn will be with You. Carolyn, will be Missed by many. She Loved,her Crafting,& Collecting Antiques. Not a day would go by that she wasn’t talking with her Furbabies. She even had them talking some. They were so Funny, Everytime we talked you could hear them saying ” Wanna Go Out” They will Miss her dearly. Seems so odd the phone ringing, & it Not being her on the other end of the call. We talked Every day.Sometimes 3 & 4 times a day,& hours at a time. Rest In Peace Carolyn. No more pain,Only Peace.
