I was so saddened to hear about Jack and Carolyn’s tragic accident. I got to know Carolyn through our camping group and more specifically the book club. I enjoyed hearing her stories and input, she had a beautiful style of drawing us into her thoughts. I could listen to her for hours, she will definitely be missed. Continuing to pray for Jacks recovery, both physical and his emotional loss.
I always looked forward to seeing Carolyn at our Camping events. We shared a love for books. I thought how could this dear gal with her soft words and twinkling eyes be reading the same books I read, and camping like us common folk. She and Jack and their love for each other elevated our group. They even had a dog. How I miss them.

Carolyn was a gracious lady and always had a smile. She and Jack were such a sweet couple, holding hands while walking together and Jack fussing over her. It was our privilege to know she and Jack and will be missed at our DuBol Winnie functions. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family. Paul and Lynda Yeany
Rick and I so enjoyed getting to know Carolyn and Jack during our camp outs with the Du-Bol Winnies. Carolyn was a fabulous contributor to our book club discussions. She told us that she was actually enjoying reading fiction. Carolyn-a classy, smart, and compassionate woman.
We will miss her and are praying for all her family.

We were so blessed to have Carolyn in our lives. She was a beautiful lady inside and out who always had a smile for everyone. We all enjoyed the sight of she and Jack walking either arm in arm or holding hands. Theirs was a true love story and a pleasure to watch. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family in this very sad time.

Our hearts are breaking that we have lost Carolyn Lakes. We were privileged to get to know Carolyn & Jack thru our Du-Bol Winnie camping club. She & Jack were so adorable together; holding hands; laughing together; Jack always fussing that Carolyn be comfortable. They truly have a love story of second chances. We will always remember Carolyn and will continue to pray for Jack's recovery. - Russ & Arlene Grimm; President, Du-Bol Winnies
