Dear President Lambert,

God bless you.

As one of Baker's Parmentors, I had the opportunity to work with President Lambert and Carolyn, and I was impressed by the individual care and attention they gave me. In fact, they attended some of my Cross Country meets, and I remember thinking how lucky I was to have the University's President and his wife at the starting line of my meets. Carolyn will be missed;however, her legacy will continue...

Thinking of you and your family...

Christine and I were so sorry to hear about Carolyn's passing. We all had such great memories of Heavner/Lambert family "Get togethers" in Liberty. She was a good neighbor to the Kohls family. And, we will always remember the wonderful evening catching up with the Lamberts in South Carolina. Carolyn was a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed.
