    Carolyn,
    My condolences to you and all your family. The picture of your parents in Paris is quite amazing–it looks like a scene from “Casablanca”. Love and prayers are with you.

    Donna, so sorry for your sudden loss. Our hearts go out to you and your family. John was such an accomplished man and he loved his family more than anything. The picture in front of the Eiffel Tower is just perfect and a fitting tribute to his extraordinary life with you always by his side. We will miss him very much. Love, Ed & Kelly Luke

    My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have been good friends with Carolyn since we were in our early 20’s. I was fortunate to get to know her family over the years. I have wonderful memories of Mr. Caley, including the times in Topeka when I “hung out” in their home watching Fiddler on the Roof, celebrating at Carolyn and Tony’s wedding, and, most recently, talking with him at Annie’s graduation party. I enjoyed my conversations with Mr. Caley, and I could always tell how proud he was of his family.
