Carolyn is such a beautiful soul. She is an inspiration to me in so many ways. I know I will see her, and I hope I can serve with her in the ages to come. Thank you Father for creating her and allowing me to know her. Knowing her strengthens my faith in your goodness and love.

I knew your Mom for over sixty years. It is difficult to put into words all that she meant to me. She had been a guiding force in my early years and continued to be a real friend throughout. We worked and socialized. Many good times with her and your Dad. She will be missed but her adventure continues as well as all the memories.

Your entire family has my sympathy for your loss.

With love always.

Dear Kendall family,
Carolyn was such a lovely and welcoming person. It was a treat when she stopped by the house while we were in town visiting Neal, Rebecca, Lilly and Ally. She was nearly always smiling and was so interested in hearing about our lives as she shared updates on her grandchildren. The video is a wonderful tribute to her full and interesting life. As memories ease your pain of loss, may she Rest In Peace.
Love, Jackie

Words I would use to describe Carolyn.....Tender, kind, thoughtful, dedicated, stalwart, sincere, intelligent, faithful, charming, devoted, and loyal. She lived her truth and walked her talk. How lovely it has been to know her. I look forward to seeing her again. Godspeed, Carolyn!

Carolyn was a wonderful friend to me. She was welcoming, down-to-earth (even with her passion for the invisible) and witty. She also had an enchanting voice, calm and resonant. I hadn't seen her for about 20 years, but often thought of her. I'll always remember her warmly. Best wishes to her family and friends!

My mom was in many ways an exceptional person and in other ways an average person. She and all others have a special place in God's heart and she dedicated her life to making the only true gift we can offer to Him--to seek and follow His Truth.

The first time I meet Carolyn was in Chicago in 2000 and from that first meeting I knew she was a very important person for the promotion of good religion in the world. After that first meeting, I had many other wonderful meetings with Carolyn and the more I knew of her the more I appreciated her integrity, her joy of living, her desire to help, her openness associated with gentleness, always willing to enlighten the searching mind. May her awakening be blessed with the presence of loved ones wanting to welcome her to her new home.

Carolyn is such a lovely person. She had a remarkable life on this world, and will continue to have remarkable experiences on the worlds to come. I'm sure Carolyn is having a great time visiting with friends and family that proceeded her. She will be missed!

(Wonderful pictures of the family too!)
