Carolyn you will never be forgotten, You were an original OBAC writer, God Bless and Keep you forever in our memory book, a poet , a woman , a friend, Godspeed!

My encounter with Carolyn was brief yet so memorable at Chicago State University. I followed her career with keen interest. Her pen has been stilled far too soon. My warmest condolences to her family.

Carolyn and I were childhood friends who walked to school together and our families shared many events. Although it was many years ago I can still recall the fun we had going together with her family to a distant church. May beautiful memories soon bring you peace. Know that the Conrads remember and share your sorrow. Barbara Conrad Moore (Chicago, IL)

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I do pray that God will give us strength to accept the passage of Carolyn Rodgers, a deeply creative thinker, into a new life.
