Her mother, Mary Lou McDaniel Bruno and her father, John Bruno, of Jackson preceded her in death.Carolyn's greatest comfort in life was knowing the assurance found in Jesus Christ, her Savior. Her family is so appreciative of the loving support provided by family and friends in her battle with cancer. "For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." - II Corinthians 4:17-18. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to The University of Mississippi Children's Cancer Center, Jackson, MS.
