You go girl!!! I have known Carolynn for almost 40 years! How is that possible, we are still so young at heart! She inspires me to be a better person. I am often included in family gatherings and am proud to call them my second family. Thank you Rachael for a moving tribute to my best friend, Carolynn.

I want to say Thank you to all of you who shared such touching sentiments. I am overwhelmed by your support. It is an honor to have all of you in my life; to be your friend, Mom, sister, aunt, partner and colleague.
My sincerest Thanks to my family; and to Rachael for her articulate, thoughtful and amazing nomination. As are her siblings, she is a wonder!
I would love this comment to count towards a vote, as I have been having trouble clicking on the stars.
Thanks to Our Bodies Ourselves for the opportunity to recognize and appreciate all the nominees, they are all “winners”!

I would be honored to vote for Carolynn. I have worked with her for nearly 24 years. Her dedication to her job and family planning rights is only surpassed by her dedication to her family. She is a strong and caring woman. I am proud to call her my friend.

What an honor it is to read these tributes and know that the woman I admire the most is also valued by so many. Carolynn has been my best support system and my best example of how to be the best I can be. I am blessed to have a sister that is also my friend.

Oh Carolynn – you are all this and more. I’m proud to call you my friend, I’m in awe of your schedule, I love that you help women every day, I don’t envy the miles on your car, you’ve raised three amazing kids and you still find the time to check in on me. You deserve this in every way.

I’ve only met Carolyn briefly, but she’s a dear friend of a friend and my sister. What a lovely tribute.
