Your Mom/Wife/Family was so much apart of my upbringing that it feels a bit like a brick in my foundation has crumbled. I KNOW this is a terrible loss to you all as your family was always so close. I hold you all tenderly in my prayers.

Although I was not fortunate enough to have known Mrs.Caswell I do know through her son-in-law, Jim Quaglia, that she was a wonderful woman that will be truly missed by her family and community. Having lost a parent I know what you are experiencing and would like to extend my sincere sympathy to your family. I am thinking of you in this time of loss and bereavement. Saying goodbye is never easy, it is the hardest thing to do, so be patient with yourself and your grief.

There are many words that can describe my mother in law however there are two that come to my mind. Loving and compassionate. I have been blessed to know those two very stong attributes she possessed for the last 30 years.
She truly made a difference in the lives of all who knew her and so many folks that didn't.
She will be missed by so many people but will never be forgotten by one of them.
Rest with the angels, Mom.
Love, Jim
