Condolences to the family!
Eddie and I send our condolences to you and Jason as well as all the family.
Carolyn was a very special lady and educator. The town and students benefitted from her style of teaching. Many had a fearful respect for her. Just what middle schoolers needed. Blessings to you, the caregiver, through the last years. Our prayers to all for peace through the years to come.
Eddie and Raeann Handy
