The finality of a passing, . . .time stops. Things that no longer, will be; and no more, what could be. Sadness, memories, points of light, imperfections and small things, . . . remembered. I knew Carolyn as a co-worker and I also knew her smile. My sincere condolences to her family and other friends.
