full of optimism and hope.
She will be missed by everyone who knew her."
With her loving husband, Chris and adoring sons, Colby and Chanse; mother, Dianne; and brother, Michael at her side, Carolynne Gilbert took her rightful place in heaven on Feb. 7, 2013. It was eight years and five days since her first breast cancer diagnosis.

courage and determination.

My husband and I just learned the news of Caroynne's passing, and we are so sorry. We met Carolynne just once, while we were all taking prom pictures last year of her son Colby and our daughter Cassandra. We are so sorry that Carolynne lost her battle to breast cancer. May God offer you all comfort during the days and months ahead. I lost my mom a year ago, and understand how hard it truly is. Warmly, The Ripley Family, Mike, Chris, Cassandra and Allyse

It is a very sad day here at Woodside West School where Carolynne worked with our children. She was the strongest and most determined person I know. The respect I have for her is immense as she never paused for anything including Cancer. She gave our students and her family 100% all at the same time and was a friend to all that worked with her. In my book, one could say Carolynne won her fight with Cancer because it did not stop her from truly living. Our condolences to her family and friends...
