I was so saddened to learn of Carolyn's sudden and unexpected death. I worked with Carolyn since we both were involved with resident support. She was always very kind to me and she was dedicated to the welfare of all the residents and medical students she helped. I am so sorry her happy retirement was cut short so tragically. Deepest condolences to the family.

My friend, it was such a shock to hear of your your passing. I was looking forward to you and Larry coming to visit me in Wyoming, but God had other plans. I will always remember our years together in Medical Education at Kettering Medical Center. My condolences to the family and friends. May God Bless you all.
