Caroline was always a beautiful person. The beauty came from within and made her glow. I went to school and graduated with her and always remembered her smile, kindness and tenderness. I am sorry for the family over the loss of her presence with them and will be praying for you all. I am happy she is no longer hurting but is set free of her pain. She will always be remembered.

To the Family;
I taught at Nebo last year and part of this year until I moved. Caroline was always friendly and had a smile for everyone, even when it was evident she was not feeling well. That is not the case now. She is smiling because ALL is well. My the Lord give you Peace and Comfort during this time.
