Carolyn was a true friend as well as a sister in law. I would chat with her on the phone often and was lifted every time I talked to her. She was a prayer warrior. All I had to do was ask her to pray about something and she was already praying. Love you Carolyn and will miss you tremendously! Donna Perry
When my sisters and I were small we would love to go to her house for a Christmas family get together. We knew that (santa) Aunt Carolyn would have special goody bags for us , filled with candy and little toys, crayons and such. We were also were lucky enough to get handmade Barbie clothes that outshined anything you could buy at a store . I have nothing but good and lovely memories of her and I hope she knew .
Carolyn was my best friend for nearly 49 years and she was more like a sister to me. I moved in next door to her when I was pregnant with my first child. I cannot say in words how much she meant to me.We did so much together throughout the years. I miss her so much already and can’t express it all in a few words. I can’t even imagine life without her.
Please accept my family’s sincere condolences on the loss of your dear loved one Mrs.Perry. May you find comfort in fond memories of her, and peace in God’s assured promise to awaken those asleep in death to perfect health and conditions under his new Earthly government.
