I am so saddened to learn that Carolyn has passed and I wish peace and only happy memories to all her family and friends. Carolyn and I enjoyed many late night chats on the phone over the years and she was always kind, funny and honest. We sat at volleyball practices and games for many, many hours and laughed at the world. I will miss knowing that she is not close by. You are loved Carolyn and will be missed greatly. Lots of love to Jim and all your wonderful family.

I just want to say thank you for a beautiful ceremony and tribute to Carolyn today. I have only met Carolyn a few times in my life however we are connected by family bond and I am proud to call her cousin. Now we all have an advocate in Heaven petitioning for us to make it home to our Father and all His children. Carolyn you are truly in the light now. May you guide the way for generations to come. Fiat. With love to the entire Summers family and all who radiate from the love of this truly remarkable soul. God bless you all during this gentle time of loss. Love, Haynes Abney RajBhandary
