“I honor you and my friendships with your sister and brother-in-law. ” - Susan White Hicks

“At least she got to enjoy living in luxury compared to the rest of us...and got to be with Kimo unlike other babies kept in the dorm..life was hard but at least it was easier on her due to father's love for her. ” - Anonymous

“Carolyn, je t'ai bien connue à Bordeaux lorsque tu lisais "le mythe de sisyphe" de Camus... Tu as poursuivi, jusqu'au bout, le tien. Il était respectable, mais tellement opposé à l'ordre établi. A l'impossible nul n'est tenu. C'était il y a plus de quarante ans, mais tes convictions et ta sincérité restent inoubliables. Merci, pour les souvenirs les bons moments passés ensemble, un petit cadeau que je possède toujours et, malheureusement, aussi, pour nos malentendus. J'aurais d'autres choses à te dire, mais elles resteront pour toujours entre toi et moi. ” - Anonymous

Perspectives on Carolyn Layton” - Multiple Authors

“Remember, all had socialistic ideas and this is why all made sacrifice. Jonestown was a dream that never perceived a reality, but the united efforts used during journey and scenic path to live in an utopian society is what rendered such inner peace! Although there were subtle variations in the paths assigned, the final destination was of one mind. It would be safe to say, death was her peace.
