I met Carolyn a few years ago and worked with her through Sunset Memorial Funeral Home. We became friends right at the beginning. She was a warm and caring person. I pray that God will give the family comfort and strength during their time of loss and bereavement. “Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal.” Lossie M. Deans
I met Carolyn during our college years at Elizabeth City State University. She always had that quiet spirt and beautiful smile, after graduation she returned to Rocky Mount and I moved here. I continued to see her through various of jobs. She has never changed and will truly be missed by those who loved her.

I am so happy to say I sent Carolyn yellow roses, that she said were beautiful, smelled wonderful and that she loved them. I was taught early by my mother to give a person, their flowers while they can smell and enjoy them. Carolyn won’t be able to smell not one flower at the funeral home. Listening to the joy in her voice, when she received them, blessed my heart ❤️! Rest day,. Your work here is done, my dear! No more suffering!

To the family it was with great pleasure to meet Carolyn and to have the opportunity to work with her the short time that I did. I must say there were many memories captured in that short time to last forever. The laughter, some days we cried together and there were some days she felt that she couldn’t go on but she made it though. Never giving up. Such a sweet loving person that always tried to please everyone. She will be truly missed.My sincere condolences to you all and much love.
I met Carolyn years ago at I Hop. She was an amazing woman who would pay for breakfast for random strangers. She had a heart of Gold. My husband cut grass for her and we both fell in love with her. Even when she was having a bad day she was always smiling and telling jokes. Even though our heart aches we know God has another Angel in heaven. She will be missed.
