Please except my condolences and find comfort in the words found at Revelation 21:4. May God’s word bring you comfort and hope in this time of deep sorrow.
Acts 24:15 helps us to appreciate that there will be a resurrection and we will be reunited with our dead loved ones again my thoughts and prayers are with your family
so sorry! She was a special person to us. I know she loved you boys(men)! Proud to have known her!
Oh my! The sweet lady that taught me everything I ever learned in the car business! My mentor, my role model! I love you Carolyn and I hope you rest with the angels 🙂 and to her boys, wow! Your mom was Awesome! Sending love and peace to you during this time.
So very sad to hear of this news. Thank you Carolyn, for seeing the potential and having the vision to set me on my career path with Jim Ellis Automotive dealers. It was she who took a chance on a 17 year old and shared her knowledge and experience and taught me everything I know about the car business. And for that, I will forever be indebted to her and appreciative of her. She was such a wonderful and very giving person. And to her boys, whom she loved dearly, know that she is in a much better place and she will always be with you. May God give you the strength and peace to get you through this sad time.
Kirk and Family
I know that “Life isn’t measured by years, it’s measured by the number of lives you’ve touched along the way”, and I am sure your Mother touched many hearts. I know in my heart and mind that she is “With the Angels”. May we all take comfort in knowing there is one more Angel above us.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this difficult time.
With caring thoughts,
