Good-bye Carolyn




Carolyn Minogue Meacham died Thursday September 21, 2006 in Salem, Va.


I met Carolyn when I was 10 years old and we were members of the same Girl Scout Troop. We went to Piedmont Junior High School and graduated in the same class from Central High School, all in Charlotte, NC. We grew up together.

Winds blew us in different directions by we followed each others lives and stayed friends - some times closer than other times but never without without caring about each other.

Carolyn had a razor sharp wit and was one of the funniest people I have ever known. I will miss the laughs, the caring and the support she was so ready to give.

But more than that, we had history. As I get older I value that more and more. Losing someone who has known you from childhood is like losing a thread in your own story.
