Donald F Putnam wrote a sympathy message

“Carolyn was a friend and a very nice lady. She, Ken, and I were members of Faith Lutheran Church, in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. We first became acquainted on a Sunday in April 2004, when Carolyn's birthday and my birthday were announced in church. It turns out that the month/year date were the same April 20. It turned out that one other also was identified as being born on April 20. Each year we all had a good April laugh. Carolyn always had a smile and a kind word. Don Putnam”

Sandy Frunzi wrote a sympathy message

“Aunt Carolyn was a wonderful lady! I have admired her since I was a young girl. She was a role model for me. I admired her calm demeanor, writing talent, beautiful handwriting, manners, organizational skills, and sincerity. I always looked forward to the Christmas letter she sent each year, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading her autobiography. She was a blessing to all of us! Love, Sandy (Ferguson Frunzi)”
