Carolyn would like to let you know that after 84 years, her work here on Earth is done. She graduated from Earth University and will continue living forever in Heaven. She entered the throne room 17 January 2017 and was hugged by Jesus. I believe she was also reunited with a young, lanky good looking man from West Texas. She left detailed instructions for her children and grandchildren to celebrate her life here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to this instruction will not be tolerated.
