Governor's statement on Carolyn Adams   Send a link to a friend

[March 27, 2007]  CHICAGO -- Statement from Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich on the passing of Illinois Lottery Superintendent Carolyn Adams:

"Carolyn Adams was a rising star. She won the love and respect of everyone she knew with her energy and creativity -- not just in the professional world, but in every part of her life. She faced a long battle with breast cancer with courage and determination. She never complained or showed the slightest sign of self-pity; instead Carolyn worked hard, achieved success and brought joy to everyone who was fortunate enough to know her," Blagojevich said.

"My deepest sympathy goes out to Carolyn's family, especially her young son Tre, and to her many friends. And I hope that when we face difficulties and challenges, we will be inspired by her optimism and grace. Carolyn will be in our thoughts and prayers."
