Mrs. Caskey always told us her traveling stories and we are truly shocked. She told us how much she loved her sisters and talked so much about their Hot Springs adventures including the trip they were planning before her sister passed. She really loved all of her family & we really enjoyed her!
We will keep you all in our prayers!
