What a joy to have known Carolyn Turner. My deepest expression of sympathy to her family. Her friendship was genuine and I will miss her smile. Rest In Peace Carolyn, until we meet again.
A beautiful woman, inside. and out. Thinking of the family at this time.
The memories of Carolyn, no doubt, hurt now. However, in time, those same memories can bring a measure of comfort. After a loved one falls asleep in death, we may shed many tears. Our loving Creator sees each one and can comfort us. (Psalm 56:8) Just as Jesus awakened his friend Lazarus, we can look forward to that for our friends too in the near future. (John 11:11-14)
I have so many memories of my dear Aunt, and many favorites. She would take me to cataract with her family which was always a favorite of mine. Her loving, caring soul and her laugh always made me feel good. I loved watching her with her sisters they would laugh about everything, and it still makes me smile. She was so good to my husband when we relocated back to Indiana. She opened her home to him. My husband said he had never eaten so much food and gained 25 lbs lol. His favorite was the cake of the month she always bought. I will miss you so much but we will meet again in heaven . I hope there is catfish and diet soda in heaven. I love you to infiniti. Love your niece, Melissa
I have many memories of Debbie, Pam and Bryant and the two younger girls, on Northfield drive. Your mom was a special person. I cannot be there in person, autoimmune issue, but there in my thoughts and prayers. Think of you often, Deb.
I want to extend my condolences to Carolyn’s family. Pray to God for comfort so that he can help you to cope with your loss. He will provide the help needed during this sad time. Pray for the strength needed. Psalm 46:1
