My sympathy and condolences to Carolyn's family. I remember her as a sweet person I met while working in the student loan department at First Eastern Bank, W-B, in the 1980s. We had the good fortune to "run into each other" several times over the years, and she was always as kind and sweet as I remembered her. Rest in peace, Carolyn
