Caroline Louise Johnson

Sweet Caroline was my friend, mentor, and one of my shero poets. I trusted her with my work which means I trusted her with my heart. She loved when I said or typed, WRITE ON when we communicated. I miss her terri

There just are not enough words to express ny feelings of loss. I will miss my dear friend, Caroline. Heavy is my heart. Deepest sympathy for all who are grieving with me. May Caroline rest in peace and know how dearly she is still loved.

Caroline, you will be missed and always remembered. I will continue writing with you as part of my audience, my guide. What a gift you came into my life. My love and prayers to you, to your husband, and to your family, and to those three adorable cats.

Hi Caroline. I´ve been looking for you and have been waiting outside of your office for a week now. I wanted to congratulate you on publishing your book and wanted to congratulate you on your poetry that´s displayed in the halls of Morton College. Although I never got to say it.. thank you so so much for encouraging students and helping students do their best.. thank you for your creativity and your enthusiasm and humor.. thank you for everything.

It has taken me a few days to sign the book. Caroline has been a dear and trusted friend and confidant for more than twenty years. I could write 5,000 words on what she meant to me, but this will have to suffice. We shared a love of bonfires, coffee (at school), great books, poetry, nature, and mermaids! Our marathon phone conversations were such a gift to this old woman who lives alone. She trusted me with her poetry....she listened....she laughed...we hit the road to Minneapolis and met some great writers. My condolences to Bill and to Caroline´s whole family...We all loved her, need I say more?

I didn't get to talk to Ms. Johnson as much as I would've hoped, but I do remember seeing her when I was first registering for college and choosing my degree. I know she's been helpful to some of my fellow AFA students. It'll take a while to get used to not seeing her walking by the offices by the one stop center.

Rest in Peace.

Wishing the best for all who knew her personally.

Good morning,

My heart is heavy. I haven´t seen Caroline since the A building was closed. We would speak every morning and sometimes when we got off. I didn´t know a lot about her, but what I saw was a beautiful person. She will be missed. My condolences to everyone in the advising department and to her family.

Caroline will be greatly missed! Always such a caring advocate for our students.

I believe Caroline´s heartfelt dedication and strong advocacy for students changed lives. May her soul rest in peace.

When I think about Caroline and all of her family so many memories pop into my head but I think the main ones are these. Sitting around the Muller's dining room table after a lovely dinner and Caroline entertaining us all at the piano. She played so beautifully, with emotion and grace. I have memories of sitting around the kitchen table with Gladys and Caroline and just talking about Just about everything. She was a talented and amazing women.

I am so, so sad. Caroline is such a beautiful soul. My dad had several copies of her book "The Caregiver" that he gave to my sisters and I. Such beauty and talent in one person. Her reading of the poem she wrote was one of the highlights of my dad´s memorial service. I honestly believe that he was there to welcome her to the "great mystery " as my dad called it. Sending prayers.

Deepest condolences to all that knew and loved Caroline. I´ll never forget spending Christmas in Georgetown, Colorado with our two families, laughing together and experiencing the magic of the season.
