Personal note from Lady Carolyn Whitbeck-Sosbee

Mom I'm sorry you were treated so badly by those you called family. I'm glad that you were able to do a little bit of damage to them. I wish I could've been there with you. I would've bullied them back. Me and my twin thank you for giving birth to us. It's truly sad that people can bully such a beautiful woman. My wicked step sisters certainly did that to you. Then they abandoned you in your hour of need. I promise you that my twin and I will fix all of this. Say Hi to God and my daughter Sabra for me. God needed Sabra more than me. I love you both.
