I never met Sister Caldwell, but her son, Jason, was my last missionary companion, and I can say that he truly reflected a loving, faithful mother's parenting style. I never a man with less guile and more Christ-like habits, and have no doubt but that those qualities came--both via genetics and parenting--from his loving mother. The world is, no doubt, a less wonderful place with her passing.

I'll always remember Kathie as one of those rare people you could feel cared for you every time you entered her presence. She was truly a loving mother to everyone who walked through her door.
