Rest in peace Carolyn.
Carol was sharp, confident, and genuinely beautiful soul. I think of her smiling at her daughter, holding close what she cherished most – being a mom. Rest well my friend, knowing your love and spirit carry on.
Carol was one of the first friends I met when I moved to Arizona in 1997. Chicago and Milwaukee got along great. We’ve had so many adventures together from camping to our love of seeing live bands together , Tubing the salt river to traveling and just hanging out and enjoying each other’s company. Watching our children grow together and celebrating that. Good old pickle juice for my kids swimming in her pool. Lol . It’s unbelievable that we have to part ways so soon. I will always remember your laugh and pure heart along with all of our shenanigans which we had plenty of! It’s been a great ride together in this life together and I will forever miss you! So many people thought we were sisters. We sure were sisters in heart. Until we meet again I will always love and miss you dearly. See you later my favorite friend! I can’t wait until we reunite again. I will miss you dearly until then!
