May God's promise found in John 6:40, of the hope to see our loved ones again, comfort your heart and give you peace, strength, and hope in the days ahead.

Deepest condolences to the family for our Watergate West neighbor and friend.

We had the pleasure of meeting Carolyn Alper for the first time this year. What an inspiring and vibrant person, whose indelible mark on DC's arts community will be appreciated in perpetuity.

Dear Carolyn, it has been an honor to know you over these past years with your work on the Foggy Bottom Sculpture Committee. It feels like I just saw you and we sat together at our last gathering. We will miss you greatly. Sending you much love always, Helen

What a force for the arts. Washington is, indeed,poorer without her.

We have had the pleasure of knowing Carolyn for many years. She was a fun and kind person and will miss her.

I am grateful for the years we shared during the '70s as I was a member of the Foundry Gallery from 1975-1984. Thank you, Carolyn, for everything you did for us, and for everything we did together!

Carolyn was of course a very interesting person, but what I always thought was so great about her was that she was so INTERESTED. She had so much curiosity and took such an interest in other people, what they were doing, reading, thinking about. She was and will remain a real inspiration to me.

Carolyn spent her life devoted to art and artists and her presence will be very missed here in Washington DC, the city she loved. Nan Montgomery
