I met Carolyn at ODU back in the mid 90's. I asked her where she was from and she said NY and I told her I was from CT, thats when we became instant "HOMIES", from that point on we became FRIENDS. I met her mom, sister Marilyn and Anthony and their children as well, and her family met my children and her family. We shared a lot of good and memorable times of which I'll never forget. I thank God that I had a chance to cross paths in this life with her and I know I will see her again in Heaven. She will always be in my heart. I ask the Lord to give the family strength, courage and peace of mind,not just today but ,going forward in their lives. In Jesus name Amen Absent from the body present with the LORD.

Man, this is soo.. hard for me. I will miss your smile, burgundy nails and clapping them hands for sure. We met you when moms worked with you at ODU& The Pose as yall called yourselves. lol. I was about 9 and my sister and I would watch your two kids at the time, only being a lil younger than us. Lol. You and Tyra would go out & moms would cook up a morning meal& we would have fun and talk. You was always my moms bff in my eyes & U would always say," U A Mess". Lol. You would call Mr. ANTHONY, " Bay," all the time for Baby ,so cute. Lol. As I got older ,I was able to go out with you and moms. U said, Tyra we getting old,""lil Cynt hanging out with us, ". Lol. You will truly be missed by the Eastwyck Girls as Mr. ANTHONY would call my sisters& I .Love you forever and we will meet each other with that same smile.
