"I will always think of Carolyn when I wonder about a small thing making a huge difference in a persons life. I worked with Carolyn for many years and while struggling to accept the loss of my Mother we had a chance conversation. I am quite certain she never realized how much I thought about her words in months and even years after. That small conversation brought me though my own dark days of loss. NEVER doubt that you can bring hope and peace into someone else's life. It was her legacy to me. My love and prayers to her family and all of those who love and miss her bright and beautiful presence."
