Dear Bobby, please accept my dearest condolences on the loss of your Mother and my precious friend for so many years. Carolyn and I go back to when we were 9 years old. We attended school together through elementary and high school. We kept in touch all these years.
She was one of the best friends you could ask for. I am at a loss with this sudden news. We enjoyed the friendship we had from swimming at the parks, riding bikes, ice skating, sleep overs and taking trips out of town with my family. As adults we visited each other, her visiting me in Tucson and then in Florida. When I needed her for support in 2009-2010 while attending to my ailing mother she was there to help. I have missed her these last several months as she was with drawing herself socially. I will continue to miss her until my end comes. May she Rest In Peace wrapped in the arms of angels. Love, Carole

Carrie was the name I called her. It seemed appropriate, as she
was a friendly, outgoing person. We got to know each other when
she and her family came from Cleveland to northern Minnesota to
visit my parents (Carrie’s in-laws), who at the time had a home on
a lake. (I believe her son, Bob, is named after my father, Robert
E. Johnson.) Carrie and I kept in touch with each other and
exchanged Christmas cards each year, complete with letters to
“fill each other in” on our latest news. Her notes to me were
always well written and interesting.

If memory serves, she, her son, and I once played ping-pong at
my home in a suburb of St. Paul, Mn. It’s a good memory. Carrie
was always ready to do anything my parents suggested, and she
was always up for a challenge or new adventure, so a fun time
was had by all when Carrie and her family were in Minnesota.

Carrie took evening walks with my mother when she visited them.
My mother shared with me that on one of those walks, she told
Carrie to not turn around and not to run. When they reached
home, my mother explained that a bear had been following them.
I didn’t find out how Carrie responded to that news, but one thing
for sure was that the big stick my mother always had with her on
those walks would not have deterred a bear! Fortunately, they got
home safely.

Carrie had a good sense of humor. We had many laughs,
sometimes about silly things. She also enjoyed learning new
things and meeting new people.

I will miss Carrie for her drive, for her many talents, and especially
for her friendship.
