An intelligent deeply religious lady who was devoted to family and friends. I´m blessed to have her as my grandmother.

Grandmom Caine was probably the kindest soul I have ever met. I don´t recall ever hearing her raise her voice, swear or speak ill of anyone. I do remember her saying that Aunt Marie makes stuff up, though. I would like to share my "Grandmom Points of Light"...
- always soft spoken and kind
- her massive pancakes
- letting us have Coke with breakfast
- seeing her on her knees praying
- snapping beans in the front yard
- watching us play croquet
- her very badly deformed toes (yikes!)
- wearing a hat to church
- playing Pitch like a Vegas high roller
- sitting quietly and taking it all in
- her driving the Dodge and then the Maverick
- watching her break a chicken´s neck, then pluck it then see it on the dinner table
- having her interpret whatever Austin was mumbling
- letting us put chocolate syrup on everything to "sweeten it up"
- she never once spanked me
- I never heard Grandmom burp
- she never really aged at all
- accepting whatever hardship came along and dealing with it
- always making me feel very special and loved
Whenever I hear crows cawing, it reminds me of the farm and Grandmom; I know she´s right there looking over me

Grandma Caine by Far has always been an inspirational Hero to me! I will always rememberas a child visiting Grandma Caine on the Weekends looking forward to going down those big beautiful hills in front of the house on one of the cousins red wagon!! Nothing but Great memories! Their used to be a cute dog named Jack...he would always frighten me by barking at me....anyways one day jack chased me up the Tree that is right in between the old house and grandmas new house! I got away..but was surely stuck in the tree. My mom..(Celeste) tried to get me down..but wasn't strong enough, so here came Grandma(Super Hero to the rescue) ....Grandma said...STEP ASIDE...REACHED UP AND GRABBED ME OUT OF THAT TREE like it was nothing! From that day on I new Grandma was an Angel! I Always will Love You Gramdma Juanita Caine....and Still Miss You Zreda.

Grandmom, I will always remember when Sean and I were little, how I used to love spending a week every summer at your house- vacation bible school, pancakes for dinner,and driving to the A&P in your brown maverick and you pulling over to the shoulder of the road saying" go on then- if you're in such a hurry". I miss you and think of you often, but I know that a part of you will be with me forever. I love you Lisa.

~A Tribute to Grandmom~

Grandmom, lived her life according to her beliefs in God and her morals

Grandmom, had a special way of making the bad times not so terrible

Grandmom, touched my life and my children with a heart full of love

Grandmom, filled my empty times with comfort and friendship

Grandmom, found the good in everyone and everything around her

Grandmom, my body and soul is deeply saddened with your loss

But Grandmom, your love made me feel like your daughter, and for that Grandmom, you will always be with me.

Love and Peace

~Linda~

Grandmom has given us so much in her lifetime that it is unbielveable to some people. In the almost 28 years I have known her I have always thought of her as my hero. Even when I was a little girl down at St. John's and we would have to write about who we admired the most, it was always Grandmom. She is the most remarkable woman I have ever known. I wanted to just thank her for a few little things... 1) for my family esp. my Dad. 2) for showing All of us what real love, strength, courage, and patience is 3) for all your wonderful stories about life on the farm and from Dad and the rest of the old ones(as she rescently started addressing her children) growing up. 4)for not being a gossip, but being able to keep me up-to-date with what was going on with the entire family. 5) for treating each and everyone one of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as if we were the only one that she had. 6) and finally for always and forever being my hero!! I love and miss you more than words can express.

I (and my brother Johnny) are the only people who knew her as "Aunt Woodie"...I remember her from my early, early childhood...She was like a second mother to me...She had a wonderful, wonderful sense of humor and a dry wit about her...her love of chocolate years ago prompted me to frame a Sunday Sun cartoon about chocolates and give it to her...she hung it in her home for many, many years...over eighteen years ago, once when I was visiting her and we were having a "talk", she laughed and asked me to promise her I would never grow up...the last time I saw her we were having a "talk" and I reminded her of that conversation from many years ago, and she remembered it, and I told her that "I am still keeping my promise"...she laughed and said I "wouldn't be James Warren if I didn't"...while all of her children and their children call me Warren, she alone always called me James Warren...she could be stern at times, especially when her son John and I were growing up (well, he was growing up, I don't know what I was doing)but she was always right...I loved her, and one of the first things that I thought when she died was that now she can see and how happy she must be with Uncle Charlie

So many beautiful things have been expressed about my mom from people who only knew her for a short time.It's very conforting to know they ALL knew who they were talking about.I can't remember my mom ever taking a vacation.I can't remember my mom when she was not giving.I do remember her forgiving so many times.I do remember her pancakes.It was a beautiful day when we buried my mom.

I am the youngest child of Agnes Juanita Caine. I miss her very much as I am sure everyone who knew her does. I can only second what everyone has said about her faith, family values, strenght of character and sharpness of mind. I would only add that mother had a wonderful sense of humor. I remember as a child laughing with Juanita over the silliest of things. During the last years of her life I would call about four times a week and visit on Saturdays. Every time I called or visited we would find something or somebody or situation to laugh at. It was so much fun sharing a laugh with her. I loved to listen to her laugh.

My Dear Juanita, you were ready to go but I wasn't ready for you to leave. Our lost is heaven's gain.

Hers is a life worth celebrating. She lived 98 years--she was born Agnes Juanita Rahll in 1903--Teddy Roosevelt was president, the first flight had just taken place and the silent movie, "The Great Train Robbery" was the hottest thing in entertainment. In Grandmom's lifetime, there were 18 presidents, 96 world series, 35 super bowls, two world wars, the great depression, prohibition, man's first venture into outer space and countless inventions. She lived during the greatest period of progress and prosperity in the history of the world. Hers is a life worth celebrating. The three things people commented on the most when speaking of Grandmom were her strength, her mental sharpness and her age. She was amazingly strong, as she survived the death of her first son, Robert, before the age of one and then her husband, Charles, at the age of 49, leaving her to raise their remaining nine children alone. Her strength of character is unequalled among anyone I know--she never put herself first, never started a conversation with the word, "I" and always made you feel that what you had to say was important--she was a great listener. The strength of her faith was perhaps the most impressive, as she quietly lived her life according to God's will, raising all her children to possess the highest morals and most deeply rooted respect for family. If she never went to mass in her lifetime, she would still be my nominee for immediate canonization for sainthood--she lived her religion, never wearing it on her sleeve. Her mind was amazingly sharp until her last days. She was famous for her ability to recall events from past generations and was able to keep her entire family (10 children, 22 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren) plugged in to each other's lives. She was a matriarch in the truest sense of the word. She was the focal point of the family and the heart and soul of the lives of us all. But, it was her age that fascinated people the most. Her ability to endure decade after decade with consistently good health. She was the one constant in all our lives--she was always there, no matter how much things changed in our lives (jobs, relationships, etc.) Grandmom was the steady force for us all. Perhaps, that will be missed the most--just simply Grandmom not being there anymore. It is ironic that she died just days after baseball's ironman ended his streak. Her death was amazingly peaceful and painless. she died with family having said goodbye and a sound sleep awaiting her. She was ready, she was tired. She drifted off one last time. She would awaken next to Charlie for the first time in 51 years--how happy she must be. Hers is a life worth celebrating.

I only knew Grandmom Caine for three short years of her 98. But I feel blessed to have had that time with her. I thank her for raising a world class man who is now my Father-in-Law...I thank her for my loving and caring husband...and I thank Agnes Juanita for my little Margaret Agnes. Without Grandmom, there would be no Maggie. I thank God she had the opportunity to hold our daughter and know how much she was loved. You are missed.

I am one of the 22 grandchildren of Juanita Caine and what an honor it has been. Never have I known a more remarkable individual than my grandmother. I will miss her more then words can say or that emotions can express. We will all hold dear the wonderful legacies & memories she has left with us all. We love and miss you grandmom!
