I am so sorry to hear of Carolyn's passing, especially this time of year. It's never easy losing a loved one; but during the holidays makes it harder. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Aunt Carolyn,
I will truly miss you. I love you sooo much. You will truly be missed. I know the angels were rejoicing to receive such a beautiful lady. You had a heart of gold. I remember coming to your house and visiting and you giving me words of wisdom. I remember trick or treating and you and uncle Edward gave me a carrot. I was crying and you gave me a big beautiful jar of m&ms. I know my grandparents, aunts and uncle were glad to see you. May you rest in love. I know God has restored your health and body. You were a great example of a Godly Christian woman. I love you Uncle Edward, Elwanda and Karen. I’m praying for all of you.
Love your niece

So sorry to hear we were friends for over 40 years and we rode motorcycles with them . You could not Ask for a better friend. Prayers for her family . My husband Jerry passed away in 2008 and I retired the next year and moved to Heber and we did not stay in touch
Carolyn was a beautiful lady. I had not seen her in a long time. But years ago. We used to ride motorcycles with them.
Aunt Carolyn was a wonderful and beautiful person who we will dearly miss. She was always a close friend and sister to my Mother and meant the world to all of us. May you find peace and comfort knowing she is in the presence of the Lord. Niece

God bless you this Christmas season with wonderful memories of your mom. Love y'all!~Kellie
Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers. May God be your strength and comfort during this difficult time.
Aunt Carolyn:
You will be truly missed. You were a wonderful sister to my late mom, Bettie Scarsdale. and I know she truly enjoyed sharing Thanksgiving dinner with you. My thoughts are with Uncle Edward, your children and their families as I know your passing has left a hole in their hearts. Yet they shall see you again, free of the infirmities you have so bravely battled.
Your Nephew
