Carolyn was a part of our family for over 10 years while living in New Orleans. She was part in every way including holidays, birthdays, Sunday dinners, vacations, and just hanging out. While living in New Orleans, she lived next to my parents and was Aunt Carolyn to my nieces and nephews. She had many friends, loved the city, Mardi Gras, the food, and was one of my dearest friends. She will always be remembered as a kind and loving part of our lives.
So sorry to hear of Carolyn’s passing. She was such a sweet, kind and loving person. Please know our family ( Lynch) prays for each of you and for the repose of Carolyn.
I can still see her at St. Francis Xavier Church in Compton when she was a little girl. May the angels lead her straight to Our Heavenly Father.
To the family, our deepest condolences. Godspeed!
Was so saddened to hear of Carolyn’s passing. Enjoyed her friendship after we “re”-connected a couple years ago; attending Mass, walking, Panera breakfasts, volunteering at St. John’s and with the Christmas Caring program. She loved fiercely and is loved by so many. May the peace of Christ surround her family during this most difficult time.
