We will always smile when we think about Carolyn's perfectionism in making meals, especially her infamous spaghetti sauce with all the special ingredients that required shopping at many different stores. I think it was Steve's dad recipe.

Steve.... My heart breaks for you. Carolyn was so much more than a friend. She was the sister God brought me later in life. She was an amazing woman with so much life and love that she gave freely. I miss her laughter, that huge smile, her cosmos were the best in the world. We were not fast friends.... We were deep and passionate friends. We shared gripes, groans, and then tons of laughter. Carolyn was, is now, and will always be.... My sister BC (by choice).... until I see you again.... I love you the most, The end, I win, Rose

There simply are no words. To imagine this world without Carolyn in it feels impossible still. A shooting star amongst the cold black night, she was. She made life and every moment spent with her show up in technicolor and my heart's flame burns less bright now that she is gone from this earthly place. I have known ("to know is to adore") Carolyn for close to 40 years, and I am so very blessed to have so many happy, fun, hilarious memories with her to treasure for the rest of my days. From our Summer days spent side-by-side at the lake at Hanging Rock...to our countless Scrabble games (you always pulled a "bingo" out :-) and card games and cookouts (oh, you were a brilliant chef who put copious amounts of skill, time and love into everything you whipped up in the kitchen !)...to our Autumn NYC nights at Toad Hall, as we all watched in awe and pride as you ran the pool table in the back every single time, picking off all the other players one-by-one--to the chagrin of the (mostly) tough, alpha-males snickering at us when we wrote our names up on the chalkboard. (Haha!) Your laugh. Oh, your laugh!!! It was magic and contagious and real. Your loving, nurturing heart knew no limits, and the warmth and generosity you endlessly gave to all lucky enough to know you will live on in each and all of us. As heartbroken as I and so many others are, I am comforted knowing how well + how much + by how many you were loved (massive kudos to Steve and your boys) and knowing first-hand how well and how much you LIVED. I love you, my dear soul sister/earthly angel/true friend and will carry you always in my heart. - "Sister Sarah" (your nickname for me since I was a pre-teen :-)

My deepest condolences to all of you. Aunt Carolyn was a special person in the lives of my boys and I truly appreciated how special she always made them feel. Every morning my boys were greeted by a ‘hello handsome’ from Carolyn as she whipped up another amazing meal. To me, she was sweet, caring, and loving. But a fierce and qualified competitor in backgammon. I think she holds the record at 217 wins to my one victory. Which I believe she let me win. May your hearts and minds find peace soon. We will miss her very much

Carolyn and I were married nearly 26 years, growing closer as we weathered storms together. My heart is broken by her loss, but I’ve been buoyed during these first few days without her by the presence of our boys Forrest and Garrett, my brother Scott, and grandsons Jude and Sloan.

Dr. Steve,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your wife Carolyn! I unfortunately had limited interactions (only through Tact 2) with her over the years to say which were a few phone calls/emails here or there when I filled out a renewal paperwork wrong or an order form incorrectly, she got me on track. She was also so helpful and friendly to me.
I also remember how highly you spoke of her whether it was from making the login passwords to get into the training website= carolyn, to always giving her credit for her helping make you the family man you became today! You always lit up when you talked about her and your family. That is one of the big things I took away from my training time with you is your stories and how much you attributed your success to them. I hope during these challenging times you continue to surround yourself with your family/friends! My family is thinking of you my friend!

A beautiful woman, honored to have cared for her. Always carried herself with grace, never wanted to be a burden to others. I am comforted knowing her legacy will live on through her loving family.

"Life is more beautiful when a person adds their own color" Carolyn added so much color in the lives of all who knew and loved her. I will be forever grateful for the adventures, from walking around Nashville catching the sounds of the live music and stopping to listen, teaming up to play "Name That Tune", or a quiet evening of conversation and laughter, while watching the waves roll in. You have loved well, my friend!

Carolyn lived a large life and shared her enormous heart’s love and hospitality with all she met. Blessings and peace to her family particularly Steve and Carla

Carolyn will live forever in my mind and heart as a feisty, fun-loving, tell-it-like-it-is lady. And she was always gracious and generous. She helped with my son’s wedding reception and did the behind-the-scenes work of getting all the tables ready and making everything perfect and beautiful. She simply stepped up when she knew I was so busy with other parts of the wedding. What a treasure and shining light she was.
Also, book clubs at her house were not to be missed. She was a wonderful hostess, and the food she prepared (always thinking of the vegetarians in the group)… fabulous! The comraderie, the laughter, the conversations and stories, and the wine, all made for joyful evenings that live on in memory. In fact, any of our book club gatherings when Carolyn was in attendance were made much better and livelier.
Steve, you were a lucky guy to have shared a life and home with her. I know you know that and feel it deeply. My life was made better by her too. She will be missed in ways as big as her life, laughter, and heart were.
