Caroline was a great teacher and director. She directed our Grieg Ladies Chorus. I will miss her. Sorry for the loss of an incredible lady.

I remember when Caroline was our musician at Granville UMC. One Sunday last summer she substituted at my current church, Epworth UMC. My sympathy and prayers to her family.
