Not sure what to say?

I worked with Carolyn in Parkrose and yes she radiated the hallways...and her love of life was felt by all!!!!

Jim, Tim, Mary, and family.

I'm so sorry to hear of you lose. Carolyn left fond memories, when she visited my father and I it was always a treat. She was kind enough to share a couple of her recipes, I think of her every time I cook them.

My prayers and condolences to Carolyn's family and friends. She was one of my classmates at Saint Mary's Academy in Portland. Thoughts of her friendly, affirming spirit continue to brighten my days.

Tim, Mary, and Jim,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. Aunt Carolyn was fun, spunky and lived life to the fullest. A very gracious lady and such a great combination of traditional Irish Catholic strong family values and yet always pushing the envelope pursuing her hobbies and interests. I so treasure my memories of family get togethers rotating between the three sisters' houses (Jeannie, Mary & Carolyn). It was always one of the highlights during the holidays to hear about...

Tim: Our prayers are with all of you and we want you to know that your mother was such a very dear friend and we were blessed to have had her as a special friend. God bless you all.

My deepest sympathies to Jim , Mary,Tim and all of Carolyn's beloved family. I enjoyed all the times I spent in her company, she was a caring, wonderful, gracias lady. I admired her athleticism, and all around good nature. Carolyn demonstrated her love for God and family daily, and my prayers are with all of those she loved so dearly. Elaine Bernal

So sorry, Tim, my thoughts and prayers are with you, she was a great and determined Lady! Eva Veazie
