Her smile said it all!  What a beautiful lady inside and out!  She touched my heart and even though we didn't see each other often, I will miss her greatly.  My prayers are with you as you grieve her loss.

Our heartfelt sympathy to you all.  We are so sorry for this huge loss.  She will be missed by many!

My condolences to the whole family. Carolyn was one of a kind. She was the most amazing person with a heart of gold. Her smile brought so much joy to all of us. R.I.P beautiful angel until we meet again.

Carolyn was amazing!  She had such an aura of positive energy that she could fill a room by herself.  If you were sitting in that room facing forward and she walked in the back door, you would be compelled to turn around.  She was always smiling, and was the first person to volunteer to help someone.  We were business associates, and she was amazing at planning and organizing and was THE person to have on your team to attend conference!  Always had on bright colors, and something cute in her beautiful hair, from a barrette or a bow, to a headband with antennae on it for the occasion.  She was always talking about her family and they were the joy of her life.  I know that she will be greatly missed, and I am honored to have known her for the time that I was given.  My condolences to her family and close friends as I cannot even fathom how much she will be missed.  Tammie Ingram Grim

Carolyn was a ball of energy and ray of sunshine whenever she entered a room. While we knew each other a short time, her love and pride for her family was always discussed. Wishing you Bob, and family alike, a heartfelt journey full of love, laughter and hugs as you remember her life and spirit.

Carolyn was such a ray of sunshine. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers to her family and friends on the loss of such a delightful person gone far too soon.

Dear Family, Carolyn was a bright light and always a happy person. I just hope she and Rena McDonald don't get into to much mischief together.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Marie Coleman, Elk Grove,Ca

Carolyn. .. keeping this open for those who loved you to post and read was one thing that I could do to share the love that you shared with all of us.  I love you and will miss you .....until we meet again......

Carolyn always shared her beautiful smile with everyone. She had a kind and generous spirit and a heart of gold. She will be deeply missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with Bob, Tim , Daniel and her whole family. God bless you all.

Bob and family, my deepest condolences for the loss of your precious loved one, often words fall short of expressing what's in our hearts when someone suffers such a devastating loss, hugs and prayers.

Carolyn was such a sweet person that touched so many lives. I am thankful that I had the honor of calling her my friend. My love and prayers go out to her family at this time, Love Laurie

Auntie I miss you and wish it wasn't like this. You were the person who I talked to just about anything. You were the person who made me fall in love with Disneyland. I'll treasure every memory of us.

My heart aches without you!! I always thought we would grow old together living in Idaho, sitting on the front porch in our rocking chairs. Someday I will see you again !!

You will forever remain in my heart...My sincerest sympathies to the family. Love Tia

I remember Carolyn from the time that she and my daughter, Zolene were in Jobes Daughters. She was always a very happy young girl and those were precious memories. Even after becoming a young adult she was always a hard worker and loved life. Sorry to hear this and my prayers goes out to the whole family because they as we have lost a wonderful gal.

I am holding Carolyn's family close to my heart in love and prayer.  I know this must be a very difficult time - to lose someone is always painful - it is even harder when the person is so young.  We'll remember Carolyn for her bright personality and willingness to help.

Carolyn always had a smile on her face and a sweet thing to say to you when she saw you. My heart goes out to her family whom she always adored.

Carolyn always brought a cheerful smile and her love of Tinkerbell to everything she did.   She will be missed by many in the meetings industry.  My sincerely condolences to Bob and the entire family.  I remember being in New Orleans with MPI after Katrina.  Our little band of MPIers walked down Bourbon Street with hardly anyone else there (stopping for adult beverages along the way) and Bob was our personal escort.

My heart goes out to Carolyn's Family.  She was an amazing women and very caring.  She will be greatly missed.

The Meetings Industry lost a wonderful friend and colleague so suddenly, without an opportunity to say goodbye. 

Goodbye Carolyn...you will be missed by all of us. My condolences to family members. I'm so sorry for your loss. May Carolyn's memory live on....
