Carolynn was absolutely the sweetest. She came to our shop for Manis & we all enjoyed her so much. We were chatting about her today and googled her name to this sad news. She's definitely missed.

Carolynn was one of finest women I have ever known. Always compassionate, generous, and a fearless advocate for justice, even when this was at great cost. My favorite story about Carolynn was one she told me about trying to get arrested at a Walmart picket. She will be truly missed.
