    Carol was an amazing woman and force of nature! I met her randomly in 2014 in San Francisco and we became good close friends and I visited her up once in Charlotte and then she took me out to the beach to one of our little favorite spots. I am so sorry to hear about this. I know I am late to finding out this information. We had many talks about her mom and her brother and his kids. I’m just really sorry I did not get to talk to her one last time before the end. I will be pulling for Clemson this year in college football for.

    Carol reached out to me in 2025 to see about publishing her poetry. We never were able to connect on it. Last time we talked (in January) she was going to mail me her manuscript. I’m so sad we never got to work together.

    I met Carol when I was a baby, and I grew up with her in my family’s friend circle. She was a wonderful person and always so much fun. I will miss her very much.

    Dear Eddie,
    I am so sorry to hear about Carol’s passing. She was a wonderful friend to me in elementary school. I remember riding our bikes to Harper’s Five and Dime. I don’t know if you remember but I went to Europe with you and Carol after our high school graduation. Carol made sure I had a good time even though I only really knew her and Karen as I had moved away before junior high. Carol had a fun personality and was always welcoming. Please know I am thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.

    Carol was a joy to be around and gave her best to whatever she committed to, something clearly reflected in her academic success. I know she will be deeply missed by all who loved her.
    I’m especially grateful for the chance to reconnect with her on social media a year or so ago. That brief exchange meant a lot, and I’m thankful to have had that moment.

    I am deeply saddened to hear of Carolyn’s passing. I had the privilege of attending Queens with her, and I will always remember her joyful spirit and contagious laughter. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family—her loss at such a young age is truly heartbreaking.
