I am truly sorry for your loss. Carolyn was always smiling and very cheerful. She taught my daughter, Sarah Duke, how to horseback ride on Jack. Sarah learned so much from Carolyn and enjoyed the times they had. I remember Carolyn to be down to earth and kind to everyone she met. She touched my heart. Again, sorry for your loss.

I'll miss you and your infectious laugh. You were that fearless older cousin - I wanted to do everything you did every time we came to visit in the summer. I'll never forget horseback riding with you. You taught me how to gallop, and how to jump with Jack - probably not in the traditional way either, and probably without permission, but that was never your style. You were a great friend, but more importantly you were family. You'll always be in my heart and prayers. Love, Jordan
