Guestbook

  1. So saddened to learn of Carolyn’s death. She was a kind, faithful and diligent colleague in the Humanities Division at AB University ( then college). She patiently put up with my kidding and light banter with her. I affectionately called her MzL. She was a blessing and a sweet child of God.

  2. I was so sorry to hear this news. We worked together at AB for many years. I so enjoyed her friendship even though I did not see her as often after she retired. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. You had a wonderful mother.

  3. Rebecca and Greg: We share in this time of grief but also share in the love and memories of Carolyn. Keeping you close in heart and prayer.

  4. My sympathy to you in the passing of your Mom. We had lost touch for several years, but I will always remember her as my friend. God bless her soul.

  5. I'm so sorry to see Carolyn passed. My sympathies to family and friends.
