Carolyn had enormous reserves of energy which she often directed unselfishly towards saving our heritage and towards social good in general. I was proud that she considered me a friend, and I extend profound sympathy to her bereaved family.

I will so miss Carolyn's dynamic creative personality. It was always a pleasant encounter to be with her. Her love of history and her efforts to preserve it shall be one of her legacy's. When she learned that Williamsburg, Va. Was my home town we had lots to share. Carolyn was an unforgettable personality, a fascinating Lady who has enriched the lives of so many. May her family be comforted by an abundance of memories and may She Rest in Peace.

Carolyn and I grew up in the same little town; we rode the same school bus and often sat together. In high school we were on the Library Club. I have fond memories of her.
