February 26, 2026 at 11:18 pmI remember meeting Carolyn for the first time at Aunt Lena’s home. Alan introduced her as his fiancé. Carolyn was quiet, soft spoken and very warm. She continued that way and was always there for her family. Carolyn visited me with Alan in Boston and we t was always wonderful to spend time with her. We were family.
We will miss her.

February 28, 2026 at 6:26 pmIt was the highlight of my day being Carolyn’s nurse. Never cared about what was going on with herself, and only cared about me showing her baby pics! I had to tell her multiple times – “Carolyn, let me get you settled first and then we can look at baby and ultrasound photos!” I’m so saddened to hear of her passing. I wish I could’ve given her one last baby photo and hug goodbye. Hugs to you, Marni!!
