I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Carolyn. She was one of the sweetest girls I had the pleasure of going to school with. Always so kind and soft of heart. From one who was almost there, heaven is an amazing place to be and I would not wish her back for anything. I do pray for her family because I know they will miss her so much. Love to you, Juanita Barnes Wiggins

I knew of the loss of Carolyn a couple of days ago but was where I did not have a computer (Winstar). I did not have a memory of her in my mind of her nor of what she looked like. Just got home and opened up JT1965. The picture looked familiar but still no memories. That is a sadness I have of HS. I did not know everyone and had a shy personality that did not allow me to readily meet strangers and have new friends. When I hit JT, I had my Ramey and Boulter friends and off we went. I picked up new friends that I met in class but 99.9% of those were guys. My shyness prevented me getting to know girls and I was pretty much happy with that until Linda Prince walked into my Biology class in the 11th grade. GOSH, girls were interesting. We talked but never dated and through her, I got the confidence to carry on a decent conversation with a "real girl". Did I ever thank her for this? No, but I should. However, Carolyn and the multiture of others (both guys and girls) remained strangers. I probably had a class with her but do not remember of her being in any of mine. I probably passed her daily going to or from class but was so wrapped up in my world, I just did not have time to allow a lot for others. So, as I look at Carolyn's picture, I see a virtual stranger but I still feel a loss for she was a Lion, she was one of "us" and we shared so many memories ( football games, prom, Sr. night, graduationand and a host of others). She and I just did not share these memories with each other. So, with a sadness in my heart, I pray for Carolyn and her family in hopes that someday we will all be reunited and perhaps then life will not get in the way of me getting to know what sounds like a "really neat" girl.
