I was wondering why I didn't see the little girls at the bus stop across the street. When I asked my son if the girls from across the street still rode the bus with him he said he hadn't seen them in a while. It is sad that in the age of communication I didn't know their mother passed away. I hardly got to talk to her and just started earning her friendship. I'm sorry for your loss. She made me laugh.

Carolyn was a beautiful friend and she had only one personality , kind and full of energy. We met 54 years ago and she has never changed. We grew up with our children and had beautiful memories She will always be known as a friendly and kind person. I will certainly miss her and that phone call. Alice What are you doing, I am coming over. Now you are in peace and forever free. Love you always, Robert & Lillie Grantham

I've known your daughter Krystal for sometime now she is one of my best friends, such a light and all around great and thoughtful person. I knew that someone so beautiful inside and outside could only come from another beautiful soul. She spoke so highly of you and the mother and daughter relationship you two had is an example to other mothers such as myself. May you sleep in heavenly peace 🙏🏾🙏🏾 God Bless You Mrs. Kemp

My condolences Kelli, Eugene, Krystal and family. I will always remember her smile and bubbly personality. We go back a long way. I will truly miss the wonderful sound of her voice which will continue to make me smile on the outside and the inside. Love, Charis.🙏🏽😔❤️

My friend I have known for over 6O years. We grew up together in W Va. and continued to be friends. She was an inspiration to me always had a positive attitude. I admired her strength and she truly loved her family. Her smile was contagious always positive attitude and even during her health issues she kept the faith, never complaining always remaining strong. I will miss her we stayed in touch with each other over the years and supported each other. She was a great person and cherished friend. I will cherish my great memories of our time together. Rest on my dear and faithful friend and sister. To the family you have our heartfelt sympathy. Love Brenda and Robert Adkins

My friend since middle school..... I am going to miss our phone calls where we could talk about everything and even have church! A true woman of God!! I always called her JOBette because she totally trusted the Lord. My sincerest condolences to her children and grandchildren, sister and brother. I will pray for God's comfort for you all.

I met Carolyn at Greater Grace Temple! She was active in Excellent Praise Choir and the Retiree Ministry. Carolyn had a Smile that would light up any room! She was Very Nice and Compassionate! Carolyn Loved the Lord and her Family and Friends! I will Truly Miss my Friend! However, to be absent from the body is to be Present with the Lord! Love Margery Coleman

Kelli,Eugene,Krystal,and family. We are so sorry for the loss of your precious Mom.Our prayers and deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. We will never forget her smile,her kindness,and how much she loved her family and friends.She was a bright and shining light to all who knew her. We will never forget her courageous spirit. 2nd Timothy chapter 4 verse 7 and 8.I have fought a good fight,I have finished my course.I have keep the faith,henceforth is a crown of righteousness,which the Lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day...Love to all of you...Aunt Martha and family.

I'm deeply sadden for mom's death. I'm praying for strength for all the family and friends to keep going in this time of grief . We will see her again in a place where God will wipe every tear from our eyes. (Revelation 21:4) Rest in Paradise Carolyn Kemp (Mom) -Jonathan Cobb

Sending Love & Healing Just As Bright As Her Smile ........Every time she saw me, her eyes spoke first. She always had a joke for me and always asked what I was up to next because she knew I stayed busy. Whenever I would ask her hows she doing, she would just smile and laugh and say shes loved and ready to get busy lol. One thing she did was get busy making every smile but never did I know she was sick because looking at her you would never be able to tell. She never let her pain show on her face. That type of strength is what I will always remember her by and of course her smile. Forever she will be loved❤ -Tara Sophia Brown

I am deeply sadden by the lost of Granny. Death of a love one is never easy to deal with. You may wonder if your dead loved one can live again? Acts 24:14 says, "and I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous". In the near future Jehovah will bring an end to death and our loved ones have an opportunity to live on earth in paradise (Revelation 21:4). So I look forward to the sure hope of the resurrection where we will have a chance to see Carolyn Kemp (granny) again.

Kelly,Eugene,Crystal & family overall..prayers for your overall strength during this hour..Thanking our Creator for all of your mothers contributions upon this physical plane referenced as ''earth''.Her beautiful spirit will definitely live on within those who had the pleasure to know her.She was always my sista n law and I will never forget the good times we shared when we were in each others company..peace,blessings,love and much light to you all! Penda Childrey~Sahara and family of: Grand Rapids,Mi.

Gonna miss you Auntie, NEVER thought that this day would come, heaven got itself a real angel this time around. You were like a second Mother to my brother Joel and I. Words can't even begin to express how much we ALL will miss you but my Mother "Tina" will miss you the most, you were best buddies for over 50 years. You rest now, we will love you forever, Tina, Kellie & Joel Harden.
