Carolyn wanted this time with family and friends to be a happy celebration with memories, not tears. She wished that all who attend wear bright and colorful clothing as she liked to celebrate her life. She wished to thank all her many friends who shared her journey, including doctors and nurses with the lung transplant and surgery team, and the staff on J8-2 where she spent many days over the past 3-1/2 years.
