I am so saddened by Carolyn's passing. I met Carolyn while working at the frame shop in Mount Kisco. She was taking care of the cats in back. She became a friend instantly - She would stop in to talk about her family , and work and of course Forgotten Felines. I will miss her greatly and her infectious giggle.

Caroline was a caring, loving person. I worked with her at Chappaqua Bus for a few years. Her passing saddened all of us and she will be greatly missed.
