Tonight I´am watching a tribute to Norman Lear...Carol worked tirelessly for the the many causes and ideals People For pursued....she was a very dear friend who I loved very much and miss to this day... I was so blessed to share a part of her life...

A passionate leader and a dear, dear friend. You are missed dear Carol.

Here's a tribute to Carol that I put together for an informal gathering of friends and former colleagues:

Early on the morning of June 4, 2013, Carol Blum died at home in her sleep, ending a life that focused on purposeful work and activism, lasting friendships with people and cats, a love of good food and wine, and the pleasures of high and low culture – from Broadway to Las Vegas, New York cabaret to American Idol and The Voice.

Very sorry to learn of Carol's passing. I am grateful to have known Carol and worked alongside her. She was a tireless advocate for justice and equality and a kind and gentle spirit.

My deep condolences to Carol's family and friends. Carol's vitality, perseverance, and courage remain with all of us. Gifts from her to those fortunate enough to have known her. Her unique sense of humor and sly smile allowed a glimpse into her complex, extremely able and very kind soul. She is indeed missed.

It is said that some friends leave footprints in your heart. And some people, like Carol Blum, also leave footprints in history. The legacy remains. And you will be remembered and missed for a long time, Carol.

May our Heavenly Father continue to strengthen your family during this difficult time.

Carol was a tireless advocate for women's rights and equality for all. She was an extraordinarily tough woman, who fought hard against her cancer until the very end of her life. And she was a loyal friend and colleague, who will be missed by many.
