Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
In Christian love,
Harold & Lottie (Robinson) Pierce
We sorrow with you and we rejoice with you. We have lost a wonderful friend here on earth but heaven is the richer for her presence there. As King David said, ‘we cannot bring her back, but we can go to her.’ Our love to each family member.
a fine Christian lady and caretaker of her mom. We will miss her great knowledge of the Bible in our Sunday School class
My thoughts and prayers are with Carolyn’s family. Carolyn will be missed.
I worked with Carolyn at the Chamber of Commerse Visitor Center She was a very sweet and caring Lady and will be missed.
Carolyn is someone I will never forget. Her friendship and commeraderie lit up a part of my life that will never again be dark. Carolyn, I love you and miss you.
Carolyn, you will always be in my heart and prayers. I will miss you dearly.
The ‘sparkle’ Carolyn gave our Sunday School Class cannot be replaced. We loved her and she loved us! God blessed us when she led prayer in our class or department. She so exactly expressed the praise, thanks and desires of every heart present. Carolyn will be missed.
Caroline is a very special person and will always remain that way in many,many, hearts. I will miss her laugh, her smile, her voice and and her warming sense of humor….I love you Caroline and I will miss you……
Carolyn was a dear friend. She supported me with her kind words and encouragments as I pursued a life as a playwright. She regularly attended theatre for shows that I acted in, as well as bringing friends, telling strangers and anyone who would listen. She often called herself my ‘biggest fan.’ And indeed she was. And I was a fond fan of hers. Never before and never again shall I meet someone who gave so much of herself to the benefit of others. Its just too bad there can be no others like her, for she was truly one of a kind.
I am so sorry for the loss we have all suffered from losing such a wonderful woman. She has inspired many, including myself, to be stronger than we ever thought we could be. I have never met anyone so full of life, than her. But, it helps to know she will be there to welcome me when I pass on the other side. Bless you all for helping her to become the woman she was.
I am the daughter of John and stepdaughter of Susan Downs. My husband, Josh, and I were extremely saddened to hear of Carolyn’s passing. We had met her and Ruby several times at my father’s home and were very fond of them both, as was our young son, Jacob. We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family and pray for strength for all, especially Miss Ruby. I will fondly remember Carolyn sitting on my dad’s front porch, sipping a ‘beverage’ and entertaining us with stories of her life and her family’s.
I know she will be terribly missed and I will remember her as a good friend to my father and Susan.
I just hear the news. I am so sorry I could not be there for you. I want you to know you will be in my mind and heart forever. You are a dear friend. I will miss you so.
Love and Peace,
Susan R Enright
