When the world was Young and Restless and you were worried about the Days of your Lives, God said I am your Guiding Light and I will take you to another world.

My deepest sympathy to Carolyn's family and friends. I met Carolyn during my deployment to the International Zone in Baghdad, Iraq. I'm so sad...what a beautiful person. She went out of her way to help me get settled when no one else did. She did not know me but knew I needed help. We were friends instantly and would talk about our children often. Thanks Carolyn for always looking out for soldiers like me. Rest in peace my friend.
