3 years ago.  Caryn with her Great nephew Adrian

One week ago, my world completely changed.  It will never be the same without you.  Love you to the stars and back. Rest peacefully

We met in Miss Shamacles kindergarten class. We were inseparable for years. My first friend! Time separated us but we saw each other at a reunion and kept in touch, we spent time at the pool when Artie bought a house near my parents house. Caryn always had a beautiful singing voice, she was funny, caring, loving. I remember hanging out at her house more than my own. Caryn you will be missed.

Heaven has gained another Angel! I will miss your love, laughter & friendship. Till we meet again, my forever friend! I love you 💔🙏❤️

Caryn, you were so much more than my best friend-you were my family, my safe place, and a piece of my heart. I still struggle to believe you're gone, and the emptiness you left behind is impossible to put into words. I will forever cherish our conversations, our laughter, and every precious memory we shared. I would give anything for one more moment with you, one more hug, and one more chance to tell you how deeply I love you. I miss you more than words could ever express, but I will carry your love and memory with me every day. You will always be a part of me and I will love you forever 💔

My precious friend, I will miss you and love you forever! 💔

Heaven has welcomed an angel with one of the brightest lights. I will miss you, Caryn, for the rest of my life.
