Add A Condolence

My Grandma always loved her grandkids and she was always willing to help me. She invited me into her home and to stay with her most of the time . When she asks me to get something for her or help her clean I did it without questioning she always did her part as a grandmother and we would always laugh and talk and I'll never forget her and what she did for me. I miss her so much.

I am so sorry to hear of Carlyn's passing. My heart is aching. LPHS class of 83 has lost another jewel. May God Bless your family. Deborah Penn Hairston
