Carolyn was our son Wesley cub scout den mother years ago. We have many fond memories of her from that time period and even later. She was giving, funny, sweet and always had a smile on her face. We saw her at the grocery store not long ago and she was the same old Carolyn. Just as friendly and outgoing as ever. I know she will be missed. Troy, you and the whole family are in our prayers.
