Farewell letter from Carolyn:

My Dear Sweethearts,

It's okay; better than okay. I'm changed, finished, done; - putting on a new outfit and relocating my address to someplace heavenly. 'Hope you don't mind. When it's time for you to change, I'll be waiting, saving the good seats. Please hear me and feel me when I say: No whole lot of tears or sadness. I'm now at peace. Have a happy celebration,  a renuneral, a repast for memories. My hope for you all is to be strong and independent. Be lucky, be wise, be brave, be honest, be kind and loving to each other. Stand up for what you believe and do what you know is right. I'll be there with you now and forever.

As per Carolyn's wishes, there is No funeral or service. Please, in lieu of flowers/gifts etc. we're asking people to donate, in Carolyn's name, to their favorite worthy charity or animal rescue organization.

If you don't have one in mind please consider East Mountain Companion Animal Project
