Carolyn, was the best - the limerick you paid tribute to her with Tom, is so very apt a description of who she was. Gentle thoughts of Carolyn we will always have. Blessings my friend, Jennifer.

Thank you very much Constance, it still doesn't feel real, its sad when you come across a comment she left on a poem you've written. She's at peace now but she won't be forgotten. Tom

Thank you very much Andrea, I wanted to write a tribute and I know she liked the limerick form and she had a great sense of humour so I thought why not. Still doesn't seem real though. The amount of tributes I've seen show how much she was loved on here. I'm sorry I never got to meet her. Tom
