I did not know Caroline well and I just found out about her passing in the SWITCH newsletter but I am saddened to learn of it. We worked together at SWITCH numerous times and her concern for others and dedication to helping them was obvious. It made me feel good to know these are the doctors of tomorow. She was certainly a role model for others, not just as a physician, but as a human being. The world is poorer for having lost her.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

In our hearts we will always carry the memories of Caroline. Memories that start from those first days at St. Paul School when we met the four little girls in matching dresses sewn by Caroline Sr. In many ways Caroline became a fourth little girl in our family too. Summers were spent in part swimming and boating at our cabin at Christopher Lake and the winters were continuous nights of sleepovers in the city. Caroline and Andrea were always talking and on the go with imagination running high.
We watched as Caroline graduated high school, met and married Andrew and finished University. She was a special person and she was special to our family. We will miss her deeply and always.
We are out of country at this time of sadness and it is with overwhelming regret that we will miss the funeral.
To Caroline Sr., Effie,Sophie, Anna, and Andrew - our thoughts are with you.

A BRIGHT STAR LEFT THE WORLD TO SHINE HER BRIGHT LIGHT IN HEAVEN.
My condolences to Caroline Blom her mother, George Kosmas her dad. Andrew and his family the Kosmas kids and their loved ones. Caroline was a beautiful, caring, kind, funny and selfless woman who cared tremedously for others. She was always trying to help others and make the world a better brighter place. She was a gentle soul who had a radiance about her that shone and as soon as you met her she made you feel comfortable and welcome.
Ken and I will miss her very very much.

While I only met Caroline twice (thru Colleen), I was charmed by her personality that shone thru in everything she did. She had the best smile and you could tell that she enjoyed her life and the people that were in it. She will be missed dearly. But she will always be in your heart.
