Carolyn Kaye's spirit was rooted in her faith. She was a pillar of strength and was our constant guide - a source of comfort, humor, and unconditional love for all who knew her.
Her kindness extended beyond our family, always lending a hand or a listening ear to friends and neighbors.  We'll remember her as the steady heart of our family, whose love and encouragement shaped who we are today and will live on through us all always.
