Dianna and Micky,
I'm so sorry about your lost. It seem as if I knew your mother. I got to know her through my daughter Marisha, who was her care taker. Marisha got to be more than just a care taker to your mom. Ms. Spencer became her friend and like family to her.
But know that your mother is no longer suffering. And also God promises a resurrection. (Acts 24:15)

Diana and Mick,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. We know how much you will miss Caroline but know pleasant memories will help sustain you.
Caroline has been a good and true friend for over fifty years. She and Bill were our best friends. We took trips together, ate many meals together, celebrated holidays and just enjoyed being together. We have many wonderful memories and pictures too.
Caroline always wanted us to be with them, whatever occasion, and most of the time we were. In Charlie's work-life we moved a few times, once to Center Point, Alabama and then to Orange, Texas. Each time we moved a farther distance from our families and our friends but we never lost touch with Caroline and Bill, our forever friends. Even though we moved far away, we came back every year on vacation and after visiting parents, Caroline and Bill's is where we would be. As we got older, we would still take vacations together. The trip were farther apart but we still stayed in touch. We had so many fun times together.
We will miss Caroline but she will always be in our thoughts and heart.
