My high school English teacher, Mrs. Propst, always said that she wants her ex-students to speak at her funeral. We laughed a little inside, thinking that was a bit of a strange request.

She turned 94 last December. Frankly, I can’t imagine the vast changes she has experienced in those years. Even in her personal life the changes have resembled shock waves. Single, married, widowed. Once she was able, active, independent, strong and healthy. Now, her body is frail. Peripheral neuropathy has done a number on her legs. And those beautiful hands struggle now to write the simplest notes. But don’t let that apparent frailty fool you, she possesses incredible strength. Her name is Carolyn, but we call her Lynn. This is her story.
