Richard and I and my mother Emma send our heart-felt love and big hugs to all of Carolyn's close family and good friends. Richard and I have lots of happy memories of Carolyn including those from the 1980's when we moved to London. We had several wonderful gourmet dinner's and brunches together enjoying wine and lots of laughter. Carolyn loved to laugh with that happy smile and Richard the jokester and chef loved to make us laugh. Once she moved out west we always exchanged Christmas cards-the written kind(pre-jurassic eon)- each describing our latest interactions with all of our "critters" filling up both sides of the card. It was a special connection because nothing either one of us did for our "critters" was too crazy or "over-the-top" to each other. We reconnected when she and Darryl moved back helping Parker get to his appointments etc. I still hear her laughter like it is right there with that twinkle in her eyes and she always had an enthusiastic attitude with finding solutions to any problem. "Oh we can fix that" as she scrolled through her phone. I have no doubt that in the fun side of heaven she continues to dine in the best establishments (at a friend or family's home) enjoys Chateau Margeaux 1954 (cause in heaven all wine-even the boxes-are all vintage Chateau Margeaux) surrounded always by family, friends, and many, many, critters (who have a place at the table with French linen and silver) and she would want all of us to have a big party and raise a glass to toast the good times we shared , even if we all cannot have a Chateau Margeaux 1954. Cheers, hugs, and RIP( "Rip" it up up there) Cousin.
