I will truly miss Carolyn, we have experienced many things together most very good, some.... well interesting to say the least. She was a facinating lady with a positive outlook on life. Although I will remember her most from the Arthur Murray Studio, but I did enjoy or visits at Ashley Park.

To Carolyn's Family..
I knew Carolyn thru Arthur Murray
Dance Studio and went on many trips
with her for competitions and
vacations and wanted you to know
she was a very kind and generous
lady and truly enjoyed dancing
and she was very good and was in
the highest level of dance and
she did all the dances too.
We will really miss her presence
as we know you will miss her even
more. Know the people of Arthur
Murray and Charleston loved her
and will miss her.
