We are so sorry to hear of Carolyn’s passing. Though we haven’t seen much of her in recent years, there are many cherished memories from our childhood in Indiana and the years we lived near each other in Sacramento.
Carolyn always had a willingness to share her faith, God’s love, and an encouraging word to those who crossed her path in life. I know they are rejoicing in heaven at her arrival. She will be missed but our faith assures us that we will meet again.
Cousin Bob Serynek and wife , Francine .
I’m sorry for your loss. May you gain comfort by pouring out your heart in prayer to God, as we’re encouraged at Psalm 62:8. Please accept my condolences.
Carolyn was a good friend and a wonderful asset in Ministry at St. Joachim and St. Anne who will be missed very much. Her love of the Blessed Mother was unsurpassed! I know she is there now with Our Lord and His Holy Mother. Rest Well, Carolyn!
