Dear Laura, Jesse, 'Little' George and families. Please accept my deepest sympathy with the passing of your Mother. It has been my pleasure to have Carolyn as a friend for over 50 years. Lots of fun memories of ball games, band concerts, card games and 'big' George's New Years Eve birthday parties among them. Just know in your hearts that your Mother is in a better place at peace and hopefully with George once again. Love for all of you, Jane Jolley (Crass)
