You are looking for a small cache in a garden area full of commemorative memorabilia. If you don't see the geocache logo on it you have not found the cache. Please be respectful of the garden (try to avoid stepping on shrubs, flowers, or dinosaurs!) and think about Carolynn and her family as you search. Read the commemorative plaque in the garden.
Carolynn Cosan was an inspiration and a mentor to her friends. Carolynn touched the lives of so many and was loved by all. She demonstrated kindness, respect, and responsibility throughout her life by taking care of the needs of her teammates and friends before considering her own well-being. Her love and deep affection for others also helped her develop the confidence and courage to make right that what she felt was wrong. She worked hard for and was honored as the first ever female Mt. Pleasant High School senior to receive a combined academic and athletic scholarship to play Division II soccer. However, she died in a tragic car accident two weeks prior to high school graduation. Carolynn’s short life was like a comet, burning brightly through our lives and leaving impressions upon us all.
Carolynn’s life was full; she was a Girl Scout, a Police Academy Youth Services Cadet, she played varsity soccer for four years, ran track and cross country, participated in gymnastics, softball, and freestyle snowboard competitions. Carolynn was also a member of the National Wildlife Turkey Federation, and competed as an AKC junior dog handler. Carolynn demonstrated her charismatic leadership abilities as captain of the soccer team her senior year, and coached a children’s soccer team for Mt. Pleasant. She also became a certified snowboard instructor through the Professional Snowboarding Instructors of America, and was successfully certified as a soccer referee with both the Michigan Youth Soccer Association and the Michigan High School Athletic Association. Across the way, you can see the bleachers, dugouts, concession stand, and pavilion that have been erected in her memory over the past few years. On one dugout is painted "one two three get it!" This is what Carolyn always said to her team upon starting a game.
