CAROLINE LOUGHLIN

Caroline enjoyed our reunions and it was fun to celebrate our gatherings with her. I have a vivid memory of spending an afternoon in the Keller home listening to a recording of the songs from The Most Happy Fella (Frank Loesser's wonderful broadway musical). This was not the musical taste of our fellow students and I was very grateful to Caroline for introducing me to such wonderful music. My condolences to her family.

Our hearts goes out to Phil at this time for the loss of Caroline. See seemed to be such an excellent wife, partner, and friend to him that it is hard to imagine her no longer being at his side; but what wonderful memories to cherish.

I was shocked and greatly saddened to learn of the loss of Caroline. We spent many happy hours together as children and teenagers and at our last class reunion Caroline reminded me that we were once debate partners. She was such a big part of our Newman family. I send my deepest sympathy to Mary, Phil and the entire family.

I am so sad and so sorry to hear of Caroline's death. I always so enjoyed working with her at Mount Auburn Cemetery and valued her wry but always-wise comments and insights. A great and generous lady gone, a bright spirit forever dimmed.

I was stunned to hear this shocking and very sad news about our old Newman School classmate Caroline. She was one of the smartest and funniest people I have ever known. It has been great to have reconnected with her in these last few years at our little class reunions in New Orleans. Sending my love and thoughts to Philip and Mary and all of Caroline's family.

Dear Mary and family,

With memories from Audubon Elementary and Newman Schools, I will always treasure having known Caroline. Please accept my deepest condolences, and know that you and Caroline's family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Fondly,

I feel so privileged to have known Caroline, even a little. She continues to inspire me, and I offer sincerest condolences. --Jane Roy Brown, Library of American Landscape History

Very sorry to get this news, and extend sincerest condolences to Philip, the family, and to Mary and her family.

Phil and Mary - I just learned of Caroline's passing and I am so sorry. From grammar school, to debating, to marrying an Exeter classmate, to her interest in gardening we led some what parallel though separate lives. Our occasional meetings were too few. I offer you my condolences.

Good Books, Movies, Plays, Ginger Snap Cookies, Delicious King Cake from Mardi Gras - just a few of the things that will always remind me of my friend Caroline Loughlin. I can still hear Caroline in my mind - when we agreed on something great, the response could often be "well, exactly."

So sorry to learn of Caroline's death. I am a member of The Junior League of St. Louis and remember Caroline so fondly. I have her book Forest Park and had such fun looking through it again today. What a wonderfully written history of our beloved park. Caroline along with her co author, Catherine really hit the mark on this work!
Caroline, kindest of wishes and prayers to you and your family. Pat McKinnis

Mary: I was so sorry to hear from Moon and Verna about your sister's death. Please give my condolences to her family and I hope you and your family will be ale to cope with her loss and your grief as well as you can. . .
