Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home

Dear Faith, Diane and James, Our sincerest sympathy to all of you in the loss of your mother, Carolyn. Although we have only known Lee and Carolyn since moving next door to them just six years ago, we enjoyed their friendship greatly. I remember not long after we first moved in and was outside one evening with our little dachshund Heidi that I noticed someone standing in the road in front of their house. Wondering just what might be going on, I wandered over and discovered Carolyn gazing into the heavens. Not yet knowing of her deep fondness and knowledge of astronomy, I asked what she was looking at and she replied that the space station was due to make a pass by any minute. We stayed there waiting, chatting; and after it passed by, each said goodbye to the other and went into our own homes. There were many other evenings when we visited outside for the same purpose. Along with many other folks, we will greatly miss seeing her outside in the evenings waiting for the space station to pass by or during the day walking merrily through the neighborhood. Our friendship with both of them was short compared to many of their other friends but we will cherish those memories nonetheless. Jim and Marlene
