Dear Jerry, Jane, and Clare. I only now found out about Carolyns story. It took me to my knees. I do not have the words to tell you all how sorry I am. When we worked together at Bear Valley Stables that was the best time of my life and Carolyn was a huge reason for it. I know it has veen a long time but I hope you find peace.

Only today did I learn of the tragic and untimely passing of wonderful Carolyn. She touched so many in her too brief life. I know you are all very proud of her and her accomplishments. My heartfelt love, thoughts and prayers are with her entire family and beloved friends at this difficult time.

Dear Burroni Family,
I've already signed this book once, but wanted you to know that one month later, we still talk and think about Carolyn every day in pre-op. We quote her quite regularly, often prefacing the profundity with "IN THE WORDS OF THE GREAT CAROLYN.....". On my lunch break today I looked at the picture of her with her golden retriever when she was a younger woman, and tried again to make myself believe that she's really gone. It's so hard to believe. We will always keep at least one picture of Carolyn hanging around. We'll never forget her. E Dubey

Dear Jane and Jerry,
Oh my friends, I am so very sad for your loss.
I remember Carolyn coming into Orrick Travel. She radiated spirt and enthusiasm, usually accompanied by a large dog with tail wagging.
Carolyn is probably working for St Francis by now.
Sending love and keeping you in my prayers

Burroni Family, I have only known Carolyn for about one year. We met walking our dogs. Whysper, Byscuit, Becky and Sugar became friends before she and I. We walked every weekend and sometimes other days. Carolyn and I became closer in May. She came over to my house for dinner and fun a few times. She was at my house the night before she headed down south. We sat by our campfire and talked, laughed, and had a great time. Our dogs were all together. Jerry (my husband) built the fire and we all had a wonderful time. We talked about us going down to Mexico in the spring. I loved her like a sister. You have my deepest heart felt sympathy. She is being missed by so many of us. I am sure that she is resting in peace knowing that her babies are taken care of. God Bless you in your time of loss. Peace be with you, Ruth, Jerry, Whysper & Bysscuit

To Burroni Family,
Carolyn was an awesome nurse and Alaska Regional Hospital was so greatful and honored to have her. Carolyn was the type of person who would put a smile on your face in an instant. Carolyn made me laugh at the hospital. She had the best skills of putting in an IVY and everytime I had surgry I would say that I wanted Carolyn because I knew that she could do an awesome job. She was kind and patient to everyone. My heart goes out to the Burroni Family. Carolyn was an awesome nurse and individual.

I only knew your doughter for a short time when she hired me to manage her home in Eagle River. I immedialtly called my friend who introduced us and let her know what a neat person I though Carolyn was. She was looking so much forward to the next year and could not wait to see her family and then be off to Mexico. I am sorry I did not know her longer. My thoughts are with you all.

To the Burroni Family: We all have two families...our biological family and the family that we make throughout life. Carolyn had a HUGE family here in Anchorage. She was a wonderful, intelligent, caring nurse who loved what she did. She always had a joke (lame ones most of the time!) when you saw her in the hall. No matter how bad your mood was, you left with a chuckling groan after running into Carolyn in the hospital. I know that in this new journey for her, she is leaving them grinning and groaning, but always feeling better for having run into Carolyn. Thank you sharing your daughter with us.

Dear Jerry and Jane,
I remember very well meeting Carolyn in the garden at Drake Terrace when she was visiting Jerry's mother, Mary, and I was visiting my parents, Bert and Oscar Epstein. At the time, Carolyn was about to move to Alaska. She was delightful and so full of life.
I was very sorry to read of Carolyn's untimely death and send my condolences to you and your family.

Dear Burroni family,
I just want you to know how much we miss Carolyn here in pre-op. We took for granted that she would be back to regale us with stories from Mexico, never imagining that such a hearty and lively part of our lives would not come back. I knew her for 10 years and can tell you that I've never known a better nurse. She was a consistent example of how we should always treat our patients, and each other. Not always perfect, but the first to admit if she were wrong, she had a big heart and a peace loving spirit. Patients will be asking for Carolyn for many years, as she was the nurse we all should have if we need one. I feel honored to have known her and grateful for the countless lessons learned. Even now she makes me laugh as I imagine God might give her a job on the welcoming committe. Nobody could make a person feel more welcome and included more genuinely than Carolyn. What a jewel. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with us. Warmest regards, Elizabeth Dubey

Please know that even though we are miles and miles away, we here in Anchorage share your loss of our good friend, our sister, Carolyn. I have known her for many years and have worked beside her for most of them. You should be very proud to know that you raised such a caring, sweet, big hearted daughter. Her smile and energy will be SO missed here and there will be an empty spot in our hearts, as well as yours. Our service for her is on Sunday 2-4. I will keep you in my prayers.
