I don’t know where to begin as I’ve only known my life to have Aunt Carolyn in it. As I reminisce and honor her legacy She is one of the most important role models who made me woman I am today. As a child, I’ve witnessed Aunt Carolyn always being a devoted mother ,daughter and sister and how graceful, loving, and classy she was doing it ALL! I will continue to honor her with all my love and gratitude for her loving me as one of her own. She will be greatly missed.
