Carolyn Devonshire 14th July 1951 - 3rd August 2021 Choose to be thankful for, rather than sad The wonderful life Carolyn has had The years that she spent on PoetrySoup Were a treasure to members of the troupe. A blessing to all those Carolyn knew For friends there was nothing that she wouldn't do In good times and bad, in sunshine and rain Carolyn would appear despite her pain. Carolyn faced illness with grace and style Hiding her pain, she'd greet all with her smile Although today we may well shed a tear Find joy in that Carolyn was once here. Fly gently dear Carolyn gently fly Somewhere o'er rainbows in heavenly sky To God's celestial paradise on high Though you will be sorely missed, gently fly. 14th August 2021 Tributes to Carolyn Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France

Such a kind awesome tribute to dear Caroline - she was always a lady to her finger tips, always gave substantial comments and wrote terrific poetry. Caroline was one in a million, and we all certainly know where she is right at this moment and for eternity. Hugs and blessings dear Belle, Jennifer.

such a touching tribute Belle, I have found it difficult to log on with the obituary pinned to the page as soon as I logged on, it was a constant reminder of a very special lady I was blessed to have as a friend. hugs Jan xx
