Carolyn was so very gracious to all us Hughes kids when we'd visit. She always welcomed us with a smile and did all she could to make us feel welcome in the home she shared with my Dad.
It's so very difficult to believe she's gone now to be with all who've gone before. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My Mom, Shirley Lowery was a cousin to Carolyn and I remember how she loved when the "cousins" would get together for lunch or to visit - I bet they are visiting now together in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you -
