Our condolence to Caroline family a nicer person you will not find. I was honored to sit with Caroline and talk family genealogy over the past ten or so years. We found we have the same grandfathers 5 and 6 generations back. During our conversation she told me to call her "Kate". In the Indain world we belive that Kate will never die as her blood is in her sisters, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren she will walk with us for many moons to come.
