See Condolences

To: Sybol and Family We are sorry to hear about your loss. May God keep you in His Care. James Dalton Johnston's family

Jeff, I am so sorry about the loss of your Mother. My heart goes out to you and your family. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

Jamie and Kay, our thoughts and prayers are with you all through this most difficult time. Dad and I were just talking the other day about how nice Carolyn and Alton always were every time anyone saw them. We had alot of good times being in their presence. We will always cherish those memories and may you and your family do the same. May God Bless you all.

Carolyn was an outstanding and beautiful lady for sure. We will all miss her terribly. She was taken far too young, but I do find a little comfort knowing she is back with her beloved Alton. God bless you all. Our prayers are with you.

Aunt Sybol, please know that we've both been praying for you and thinking about you. With much love, Dexter & Rhonda

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. May God bless you all and give you the comfort you need. Chad & Marti Jo Whitehead formerly of Downsville

Ms. Carolyn was such a "Lady" - always neat and dressed to the T - I admired her so much for her pleasant personality. I met her through the Rienhardts at clinics and each time we met she was always so friendly and willing to help. She was quite a horse woman and will be sadly missed in the barrel horse community. I'm sure she will be helping at those barrel races in heaven. May she Rest In Peace as she joins her husband.

Dear Jamie and Jeff, You do not have any idea how many children have been touched by your Mom. She helped instruct at the North La Bible Camp last year and touch so many lives. I remember after the camp the children would scream at the top of their lungs at the runs go Mrs Carolyn go. No doubt she was one of a kind. The day of her reunion with Alton and the Lord, there was a lighting storm the lite up the whole night sky. My 7 year old informed me that was Mrs Carolyn dancing in the heavens. Will will miss you at all the runs and will miss the the children screaming at the top of the lungs. We will once again in the near future see your smiling face and see you running those cans and hear those children cheering for you the whole way. You will be sorely missed but always in our thoughts and memories. Julie Thurman and family

I will never forget Ms Carolyn- she was a gentle, true, honest person with a wonderful outlook on life. She will be shining down on her family from heaven, right beside Mr Alton! Lots of Paryers for you

We only recently heard of the tragedy. We have ridden with Carolyn in playdays over the past years and enjoyed talking with Carolyn and Alton about horses, riding, and life. We are thinking of you in this time of sorrow. Our prayers are with you. Carolyn and Larry Sykes

Mrs. Carolyn, we will miss your smiling face so much. I know they do have barrel horses in heaven and you will be riding one!!

We will all miss her. She was a great friend. I have know her for about 10yrs. I know words can't say enough, but know she was a fine christian woman who will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers goes out to the family in their time of loss. Ms Carolyn was a very wonderful lady and we will miss her warm smile and classy style. You was a true cowgirl in every sense of the word. It's just a comforting thought that she is now going to be with her Lord and beloved Alton and watch down over us.

I haven't seen Ms. Carolyn in a long time, but I will always remember her as being a very pretty lady inside and out and always dressed to a T!!! May she be in peace and with her beloved Alton.

Jeffrey and Jamie My thoughts and prayers are with you both at this sad chapter in your lives. I haven't seen any of you guys in such a long time. My memories of her was always laughter. I wish I lived closer so that I could be there for your support but I will be there in spirit. Susie

Miss Carolyn was one of the sweetest "Ladies" that I will ever know and I was glad to know her too. She will be dearly missed by so many. She was a friend!!

We are very sorry for your family's loss. Even though we did'nt know Carolyn We felt as though we did the way our sister Linda A. would talk about her best friend Carolyn. She will be missed by all but remember she is in a place we all want to get to some day. She just beat us there!

I didn't know your mother, but Linda Audirsch is a friend of mine, and she had told me about your mother's accident. I am so sorry for your loss. My husband, Roger, passed away last Oct. He had just shown his horse at a cutting at the Ike. He was 62, also. My heart goes out to you. We can find comfort knowing that they are with Jesus now, and we will see them again one day. I will keep you in my prayers. Janice Pinton

I rode with Carolyn many times when I lived in Shreveport. She was a great lady and will be missed. She has been reunited with Alton and her dad in heaven!

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Carolyn will be sorely missed by all who knew her. I will never forget that smile of hers and the twinkle in her eye. What a sweet, thoughtful, caring person she was! Although she was taken from this earth too soon, I know she is happy to be with Alton and Jesus now. My heart goes out to her family, who will miss her so much.

I was so sorry to hear this tragic news. Carolyn was a very sweet lady who always had something nice to say about everyone! I'll always remember the great laughs that Johnette, Carolyn, and I had at El Chico's during the Josey Reunions! And she always looked so good at those barrel races!! She will be missed. The wonderful news is that she is whole, happy, and content in her Heavenly home. How amazing that must be! I hope that gives you comfort in these days of sorrow.

Dear Jeff & Jamie, We were sorry to hear about your mom. Although we haven't seem her in a long time, we were good friends for many years. May God bless all of you. Love, Kenneth & Linda Bonrud

My son, Benjamin Beall, just thought Ms. Carolyn was the sweetest, classiest cowgirl and no matter where we were at a barrel race and he heard Ms. Carolyn's name called he would run to watch her. We will miss watching that sweet classy cowgirl but have comfort in knowing she is in the presence of Christ. May God embrace you during this most difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We will miss her very,very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

The NEAL family would like to send out our deepest sympathy to the family and other friends of Mrs. Carolyn. She was not only a sweet, sweet lady, who was loved my many, but was true to her love for horses and being a cowgirl. As we share your grief, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

On behalf of Cowboy Church at the O K Corral, Connie and I extend our sincere sympathies to you in your loss. Carolyn was a special person and she will be sorely missed. Gary Brewster, Pastor Cowboy Church at the O K Corral 505 Cooney Bonnett Road Eros, LA

I cannot begin to imagine the grief you all must feel at this time. Be strong for Carolyn for she is happier than any of us and is much better off than we are. She is now back in the arms of her beloved Alton and the most precious gift of all, she has seen Jesus! Bobby & I will be praying for you.

Dear Jamie and Jeff, I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and your family during this time of loss. Ms Carolyn was a true Cowgirl and an inspiration to us all. She will be truly missed.
