Dear Brian,
Louie and I are so horribly sad about the passing of your beloved mother. She was a wonderful woman who gave so much to her loved ones. She will always be remembered as a woman of tremendous strength. Brian, we are so sorry for your heartbreaking loss.
Helene and Louie Reiff.

Carolyn was a TOPS friend who always encouraged others with good advice and her fine example, as well as plenty of humor. She would come early to meetings to engage with others. She will be missed by myself and so many others. Her Service was touching and I learned of so may other talents Carolyn had. My prayers go out to Brian and Irene and all her family and friends with the loss of this special person.

I met Carolyn a couple of years ago when I joined the TOPS chapter of which she was also a member. From that first meeting she made me feel comfortable, was always so welcoming, always had an encouraging word. I will miss all of that. My deepest condolences to the Greenstein family.

My Dear Greenstein family, I have known Carolyn for only a short time. My affiliation with her was through Tops. She was an inspiration to everyone who came in contact with her. She had a marvelous sense of humor and never complained! She loved her family and she was always quick to offer a smile and to tell us what to eat to lose weight! She will be missed! I send my condolences to Brian and the family.
With love, Judy Berg
