It´s been 4years since you left us and you are still a big part of my heart that I will hold forever! We had such good times thru our life together! You knew when I needed advise cuz you were the smart one and I knew when to lift you up when you felt like giving up! We were a team that I loved and miss! Your sister Jackie

This sentiment comes so very late, but I still must comment on what a special person Carolyn was. I was fortunate enough to have been the one who hired her many years ago at the Neurosurgery/Neurology office and how I hated to see her leave our neurosurgical group when the two practices split! Still.... the real career she was so suited for in management began at that moment, when she made that change and moved to the Riverside Neurology office. She was the BEST person for that job! All the physicians loved her, as did the patients and staff. We kept in touch but not as often as I wish. The word "Special" is so overused; but it was meant for Carolyn! She was smart, talented, dedicated, dependable, and oh so funny. She made work FUN! I miss her, as do MANY others! She'll never be forgotten. / Shirley Moseley

My Aunt Carolyn was a sweet and funny lady! I will miss her and may she Rest In Peace!

Carolyn, my sister, was six years younger than me. As a baby, she remained bald for quite a while. Dad called her " his baby boy". Her beautiful long hair came later.
I admired Carolyn. She was a strong individual. Her excellent work ethic, thoroughness, and attention to details in all that she did, plus subtle wit in her conversations - well, it all defined who she was.
She loved to travel, sharing stories and photos. I felt I had traveled with her.
Her tasteful style showed up in everything. She was an artist, and her home reflected that. Music was another of her many interests. She liked Bob Dylan before he became famous, introducing other music to my ears. And boy, could she dance!
Carolyn's life brought us much joy; her death brings us much sadness as we mourn the loss of Carolyn P. Mack.
Peace

It was such a joy to meet you! I always joke with Kim that I immediately knew you were her mom because you two are twins. I admired how you were always ready for the next adventure in life and set out to see parts of the world. May your love, light and zest for life live on through your family and friends.

Carolyn was a lovely and strong person I remember all the times we got together to have a laugh and i remember when we all lived on Willow Hill Plantation. I know she will be sorely missed by Tom and all her family. RIP

Together we lived a wonderful life, raised terrific kids and saw the world together. There's no one I would ever rather have done this with. You are the most beautiful person I've ever known and I will miss you forever.

Im so grateful that I had the chance to spend time with Carolyn in Scotland in 2017. Kim is one of my closest friends, and she has always shared the best stories about her mother; I couldnt wait to meet her myself. Of course, as anyone who knew her might imagine, Carolyn did not disappoint! Some of my most treasured memories from that trip are simply Carolyn being Carolyn. She was so full of excitement, and her running commentary about everything from my unfortunate tumble down a muddy hillside to Kims driving kept us laughing all week. Carolyn made me feel like I was one of her own. What a gift to be able to share love so freely with the people around you, and what a gift to be on the receiving end of that love.

How lucky we were to know Carolyn. The world is a little less bright without her energy, wit, and warmth. She will be dearly missed.

All my love to Tom, Kim, Thomas, and Harris.

Missing you already, from the endless hugs to the constant positive words you had to give. Ill never be able to forget the many times I insisted on pulling you home in my wagon after thrift shopping, wearing sparkly heels three sizes too big, to then eat dinner and run around in the backyard. After supporting me in absolutely everything ive pursued I hope I will be able to do right by you the rest of my life plus more to make up for what was taken away from you too soon. If I can be a quarter of the woman you are I will be set for life.

Carolyn had been my friend since 1972 and my wife, Caroles friend since 2000. She will certainly be missed and we are so sorry to see her go. We recall one Fall Tom, Carolyn, Carole and I all met in Munich for a few days and what we remember most about her and this trip was our adventure to the Hofbrau Haus. A lively band was playing and Carolyn Just couldnt help herself. She jumped up and started dancing and encouraged a bunch of strangers at an adjacent table to dance, as well. Take a look at the attached photo and check out her smile. One photo says it all...

Carolyn was my sister and best friend! We had a lifetime of fun and love! She was always there for me in my difficult times! I could always count on her to ease my pain and make me laugh! She was a strong,sweet, and funny woman and she was always there for me and her family! I loved hearing her stories about her trips! She wasnt crazy about the beach but she would come and have fun with me and my friends! Everyone loved her the first time they met her! My heart is broken and I will surely miss our talks! I know I will see her again! I love you with all my heart and soul!

Our deepest condolences Uncle Rick and family. She was a fighter until the end and her strength in the face of the prognosis Of this horrible disease was incredible. We will remember her laughter, generous heart, wit and wonderful smile not to mention her love of travel and to this day we make her corn pudding on Thanksgiving. She was taken too soon. She will be missed. Goodbye Aunt Carolyn

Carolyn's laughter resonates in all of my memories of her. Not only was she a sweet friend, she was my office manager and upbeat coworker at the neurology practice. We worked and laughed together there, remarkably both of us pregnant at the same time. Carolyn's sense of humor and quick wit boosted my spirits. Her friendship extended past the office. Through the years we kept in touch, highlighted by sharing a marvelously fun year driving our sons' kindergarten carpool, followed by other happy occasions together. I treasure those many delightful times spent with Carolyn. Carolyn made me feel special.

Carolyn was my friend who I will miss deeply. We walked together, took spin classes and confided in each other. She was strong, soft hearted and was always smiling. She was a great cook and loved drinking wine with me. My heart is sad and tears fill my eyes just thinking of how much I miss her beautiful face. She was a fighter, she wanted to live so much more for her family and friends. Carolyn I love and miss you!

With deepest sympathy and my condolences to Tom and Family
Lets see where do I begin.
Wonderful Mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to everyone you would meet.
You were one of the best sister in laws anybody could ask for.
You were a wonderful/fabulous Gourmet cook.
A Super/Duper Housekeeper.
Great at organizing anything, I know your Drs office held you in very high regards till the day you retired.
Great gardener and was willing to help anybody in their garden.
And the thing I think you enjoyed almost as much as your family was TRAVELING. And a World traveler at that. Not many places you didnt visit up until you just couldnt anymore.
I remember the time you came to Germany to visit, we had a most wonderful time together.
I also remember what a great job you did in packing those suitcases when you got ready to leave. (I guess after all that traveling you even were great at packing suitcases).
There was absolutely nothing that you couldnt do and do it well.
I will always remember how you laughed at your own jokes even if they werent funny. (now that was funny)
My memory of you will be the keepsake that will always be with me.
You will be sorely missed by all.
Without a doubt, you will be getting everyone in Heaven organized and shipshape.

So sad to see such a strong lady taken. She kept a positive attitude despite the terrible struggle of fighting this disease. It was wonderful that she was able to share a final trip to London with Tom. She loved traveling and meeting new people everywhere she went. She will be sorely missed as she certainly left her mark on the world and those who were privileged to have known her.
