Praying you are well. Every time I begin to weep. I stop and remember Carolyn is in a better place. Her work is done. I am a better person having witnessed her work. I know she is proud of all of you. I will never forget our fun times together. Hey no-one could forget those dimples and the laughter. In closing I would like to say as Carolyn would say. "Choose To Be Happy"
Luv You Much

To The Heward and Holmes Family,
There has not been one week since Carolyn (Juda)went into eternal rest. That I have not thought of her.
Just the other day. I was awoken by the phone. When I looked at the caller id. It read Heyward C. I was in
a bit of a shock. Then I thought could it be her? Then I thought these past years had been a dream. And that
was her. Then I listened to the voice on the other end.( Reality check) it was a male voice. It was the Minister
of my church. Minister Heyward was checking on me. I had not been attending bible study. Suddenly I felt It
Carolyn sending me a message. Get up stand up. Choose to be happy. Get back to worshiping God like you should. When ever I had my pity party . She would pray with me. That I will always remember. Her mission was to be an example of the way we are to live.
Forever,
My Best Friend .

Forever in my heart, there's a spot for you, Carolyn, Sista Girl! We shared some sweet memories! I will never, ever forgot you singing at my son's military retirement ceremony! You "rocked it" (that dear old traditional song) right out of the park. There are differences of opinions as to what we know after we transition from this life to our eternal home. So, just in case, God lets you know, I'm leaving this note, I miss you and pray you will be waiting at the gate for me - if we don't get to meet in the sky! Much Love!

I am so saddened & shocked to learn of Carolyn's death. We did "Dayporch" together and she was so excited to learn all the tricks backstage. We always held hands and she would pray the most heartfelt prayers for service before we went on stage. She spoke often of her wonderful family. I am so blessed to have known her
