    To Carolyn's family, I want to send our sincere sympathy for your loss. To let you know who I am, my parents were Art and Viola (Heller) Johnson. I remember visiting your grandparents, Carl and Irene, when I was young and knowing Carolyn then and visiting with her occasionally over the years. May God be with all of you during this difficult time.

    Carolyn was a wonderful person, we really enjoyed her company, my mom, Darlene so loved the time spent with her at Shalimar Gardens, and really missed Carolyn when Darlene moved to Atkinson. I loved having lunches with them, and all the found memories I have of Carolyn and Darlene laughing together. Carolyn was a classy lady. Now they are together again in heaven enjoying each others company.
