I think of Carolyn so often and miss her very much.  She was one of my closest friends.  She was always there for me through tough times in my life.  We had so many wonderful times over all of the years too. Great trips as well.  I was just talking to Ernie this morning about her and how I loved her so much.  What a sweetheart!

I think of our sweet Carolyn so much.  I had some of the best times with her over many years.  I miss all of our long conversations on the phone.  She was an inspiration to so many people to be better.  Loved her so much!

After a year and I'm still in shock. Your smile, Carolyn...I don't think I EVER saw you without that bright, warm smile!! You were so, so kind and shared that through a word, a hug, a compliment...however you could. You're missed but never forgotten my friend! God bless you, your family, friends and loved ones. Keep the light on for me, Carolyn!

I really miss my sweet wonderful friend!  I miss talking to her.  She is truly missed.  She was always there for me in my worst times to encourage me to fight hard to get through my tough times.  It gives me peace to know she is in a better place.  She deserves to have peace.

Exactly 20 years ago this week after I 
went through a loss, Carolyn sent me the sweetest card because she had been in my shoes. I enjoyed getting to know her better after she opened that door.  Even at the end she was thinking of others with the ultimate gift as an organ donor. What a kind soul. Thinking of Brian, Cheryl and the rest of her family. 

Live~Love~Laugh
THAT was Carolyn's Life! Our hearts  stopped when I found out that she was no longer here to keep that going, however...YES she is.  For us,  the memories of laughing SO hard that you never forget, will forever be with us! Carolyn and Brian took us in at our first Lake trip to Table Rock, made sure we had the "proper" clothing, and a GREAT place to stay! Carolyn had a knack for party planning, EVERYTHING down to the last decoration! Always a kind word, LOVED her family (Michelle...we Loved  our time with you and Thaine) and LOVED life, which is evident in her last gift! Our thoughts are with you Brian, Michelle, Thaine, and ALL the Family and Friends who were fortunate to know her. Lastly, she was one of only 2 people that ever called me Jeffery!

Growing up across the street from the Crippens was so nice, such a loving family. Then got to meet back up with Ruby, Carolyn and Cheryl and work with them at NKCH, just like home. Carolyn always so welcoming and pleasant no matter where she was. Always the hostess with the mostess! She loved her family so much and they loved her. Till we meet again, RIP

Prayers and sympathy in your loss.  Carolyn was so special to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.  Take comfort in your memories and knowing you are not alone in feeling the loss of such a great human being as Carolyn.  What a wonderful world it would be if everyone was as loving and caring. She will be missed.

There is a saying that "we meet a lot of people through the journey of life.  Some stay a while but others stay forever".  Carolyn was one of those friends.  She was the kind of friend that  we never forgot, and the kind of friend that never forgot us.

Even in this time of immense grief, she found a way to give immense joy with the gift of life to another.  No greater love.  Rest in peace my gentle and generous friend.  You may have left my  life for a while, but you will never leave my heart.

Our sincerest condolences to you and yours Brian.

Carolyn will be missed by so many.  I always admired her caring and selfless nature.  She always made everybody she was around feel so loved. I will never forget all of the times she told me how beautiful I was & how proud of me she was & what a beautiful family I had.  She passed down her loving & kind personality to her amazing daughter.  Her kindness was contagious and her memory will live on forever.  She was an amazing woman and she will truly be missed.  I’m just so heartbroken for you all.
