May 28, 2022 at 4:16 amRest in peace Carolyn and deepest condolences to her family. She was my uncle Albert’s neighbor down the hall when he passed last February. It was nice to talk with her when I would come to visit and especially comforting after he had passed and we had to close up his place. She was a real nice lady and she will be missed.
