I am saddened to report the passing a one of the most poised women I have ever meant.  She had been struggling the last few days with complications due to the treatment of a recent diagnosis of leukemia.  As many of you know, I was NPC of the Lynch Team in the 2013 D’Orsi Senior Bowl and spent close to 2 years fighting for her Gold Medal and World Championships title which was stolen from our team by the German Coughing Doctors.  Throughout the entire ordeal, Carolyn was steady, peaceful and confident that the Lynch Team would eventually win out over evil.  I was so happy for her when she finally received her Gold Medal at the Chicago NABCs this past August.

The Lynch Team was featured in the 2015 World Championships here in Chennai, India as defending Champions of the 2013 D’Orsi Bowl.  Even though the title will always have a cloud hanging over it due to the German Coughing doctors who cheated on every board, Carolyn was a true champion and beautiful human being inside and out.  She will be missed dearly by the bridge world.
