Sorry for the loss of Carolyn especially being so close to Docs loss. Having lived next door to the Prose residence for so many years, I have many memories of each one of them especially Doc and Carolyn. In the last few years I can picture Carolyn on her scooter with her dog going for a walk. If we happened to be on the porch with Mother she never failed to wave and frequently stopped to yell to us. Prayers will be with extended family as they mourn the loss of both. Kathy also sends her thoughts.
Sharon and I are so very sorry for this family’s loss. We always enjoyed talking to Carolyn when she would come to the stores. She will be greatly missed..
Carolyn showed us her great strength and kind heart in everything she did. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. So sorry to her family for your loss. She loved you all.
My dear friend and former roommate was buried today. Carolyn’s health was a challenge for many years and she was a fighter. I have so many memories of our trips and general escapades. It brings a smile and laugh to me. I miss her and our times together. So many times we would laugh and say “we are taking this to our grave”. I guess I am now the “grave memory keeper”. Rest in peace Carolyn. Love Barb.
