I just learned today of Carolyn's death. I have known her all of her life and most of mine, although we had not been in contact directly for years. She -- as well as her sisters, and her parents -- was an exceptional person. With all of the attributes that made her stand out, she was never condescending or elitist. She was always a friend. My thoughts and prayers for wholeness are with her family.

I know I speak for many who grew up with Carolyn in NLR schools and at First Methodist Church when I say she was a truly wonderful person - smart, pretty, fair-minded, and a great friend.  I feel fortunate to have visited with her at our 40th reunion in 2011.  My prayers go to her family as they deal with their great loss.

I am so sorry for your loss of Carolyn. She was so smart, witty, and talented. I have wonderful memories of sleepovers almost every weekend in high school where I was able to get to know her family so well. Years pass, but memories don't. I will hold those memories close to my heart. 
I pray for your family to give you strength through this very difficult time.

My heartfelt prayers go out to Carolyn's family.  She was always a bright spot in everyone's day.  I was so glad to get to see her at the last high school reunion.  We will see her again one day.

I am so sorry to hear about Carolyn' s passing.  I have not seen her in years but to me she will forever be one of my little ballet buddies in pink tights carrying her ballet bag.  Rest in peace Carolyn Goss.


All of us at the Ogletree Deakins Law Firm offer our condolences to Jerry Dobson and his family and make this donation to New City School in memory of his wife, Carolyn Goss, pursuant to the family's request.

My thoughts are with you all. I know it is especially hard to lose someone "out of turn." Mother and I both are sending you light and love. Rachel, you will always hold a special place in my heart, and Mother is so very fond of Elaine. Even though we don't see you often, you feel like family to us. 
Please give my regards to Jack also. May peace fill your heart soon.

i am so sorry to hear of Carolyn's passing...The memories of our dinner at your lovely home to honor Laurie Doctor and the workshop we were involved in have come flooding back. What a wonderful evening that was. Carolyn took us all up to her studio on the third floor, and WOW!! , it was there that I saw and knew what an acomplished artist she was.  Her work will be her legacy. I feel honored to have created with her at those workshops.

We are terribly sorry to hear of your loss.

Jerry, Joe & David, I am thinking of you and of dear Carolyn.  I have so many strong, happy memories of growing up with your family.  I love you all and send you strength.

Jerry, Joseph, & David,

I am so sorry for your loss.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Carolyn once asked me to write something about a calligrapher for the International Association of Calligraphers. I was thinking a 10 or 15 minute script for a slide show. Little did I know that she and I and a small group of others would end up writing a 90-minute one-woman play about Ester Inglis, her art and her travails. We all met once a week for several months, one of the best experiences of my life in terms of friendship and fun. Carolyn was fun, witty, down-to-earth. I've been thinking about her a lot this year and will continue to miss her. Love, Sue Caba
