We continued our friendship through highschool.  I remember your Mother as one of the sweetest people I knew. My husband & I returned to Marion from Oklahoma about 2 years ago and I was invited to the "Taft Girls" Monthly Brunch at Perkins where friendships with your Mother and the other attendees were renewed. She beamed when telling me about her children and grandchildren, and I also learned we had some of the same interests. It was an honor to call her my friend.  May memories of happy times together help sustain you through the coming weeks and months. Blessings & prayers are coming your way.             #10 from: Dustin Williams Marion oh Thu, Sep 3, 2020 at 5:13 PM I have been mowing for Carolyn for last few months since her husband(Bill) passed.
