My dearest friend. I will miss you horribly Carolyn. Our trips to Olive Garden to catch up or sitting outside your home laughing. What I wouldn't give for another hug. Working with you at GCPD was so much fun. I'm so glad to have been blessed with your friendship. May God give your family peace and comfort during this time. And may you rest peacefully.

My condolences and prayers to Carolyn's family. I was one of the fortunate officers to get to hear her voice on the other end of the radio as she dispatched calls at Goose Creek PD! We would often pull little pranks on one another. She always had smile on her face and was such a pleasant person. May you rest in peace Ms. Carolyn!
