Hubert….so very sorry to hear about Carolyn. I’ve thought of both of you over the years and the fun had playing softball. I retired in 2019 and had moved to NC in 1985 where I still live. Anyway….you are in my thoughts. Claudia

Sending my sympathy to Hubert Jr and family. Went to school with Carolyn many years ago. Sincerely: Connie Hershnan Seli
On behalf of the Bolyard family I thank you all for your kind words of comfort… Mom was a proud woman, who inspired so many people throughout her years and she would be happily humbled by all comments of her!
Carolyn was such a great and loving person. She loved to hunt like I do and her and Hubert were such gracious people and welcomed me into there hunting cabin at Kempton many times. You just don’t find many people in life like them and I always kept them in my mind. God bless Carolyn and Hubert and I know she made it to heaven because of her kindness and I’m sure she loved God and Jesus. I have never met people like them in my 58 years of life like them. I pray that when I go home to heaven that I will see her again and I know for sure I will. God bless both of you and thank you for being my friend. -Drew Sheally, Oakland Maryland.
