We just wanted to share how much we enjoyed the friendship we had  with Carolyn through the years, since we became neighbors back in 1996.  She was the best neighbor you could have. Actually, Harry, Carolyn, and David have been wonderful neighbors.   

I enjoyed our chats, when she and I had opportunities to talk either in person or on the phone. And we always had fun chatting over the fence! 

She loved all her family, and she loved her church! She really loved when she was physically able to be more actively involved in the church.  

On the Saturday before she passed away that following week, I am so glad I went over to take her some fruit, and a pie for the guys; and she and I had the opportunity to have a long visit.  We talked about a lot of things, and one thing in particular, was the fact that how important it is to be assured that we have accepted Christ as our savior, whereby we know for sure we are going to heaven when we die.   She talked about that, and said that she was ready.   Hopefully, if there are any friends or loved ones in her life, that are not sure of that yet, that they will make sure that they have accepted Christ as their savior, and know that heaven is their final home. And, also what a joy it is that we know if we have accepted Christ, that we can be reunited even with Carolyn one day in heaven. The  memory of that last visit that she and I had will always be very special to me.
Our prayers have been for the family and will continue to be so, as they go through this process of grieving and loss, and especially for Harry and David who will miss her presence every day!  
Stan and Carolyn
