Carolyn was a hard working woman with two precious children,
Freddy and Lisa. Her husband, Fred, was manager at a
Wendy's where they lived in Ft Pierce, and she was talking about
retiring from Eckerd Drug. I was so blessed to
spend some time with her in 1982. We sat up all night looking
at old photos and telling tales of child hood and laughing.
We visited this Commercial Beach that we had to pay to get in;
Hardly anyone was there, it was wonderful.

Now Back To Carolyn
Carolyn, 1982
That is Lisa (her daughter on right end)
Carolyn, had a wreck and was almost killed;
We discussed deep, deep things of our heart.
Her Spirit can be seen in this photo---
Little did I know
That my husband and son
would go home to be with Jesus;
And just shortly after that, my Carolyn would also.
That was the last time we were together here on earth.
She died of cancer in 1994
Carolyn, I still love you so
You'll linger in my heart forever, and in heaven one day
we'll meet again and have a glorious family get together.
Until then, rest sweetly in Jesus dear sweet friend.
Betty
can't smile without you.midi
