There was never a time when I saw Ms. Carolin that she was not humming a tune or singing a song. Her spirit was amazing and lives on in her beautiful daughter Cami. She will be missed by so many! Thoughts and Prayers to the entire family. May you rest in PEACE "Sweet Carolin".

Grammy you will be missed terribly. The phone calls out of the blue just to tell me you loved me and remind me that you are my one and only Mother-In Law :) My last fondest memory was when you called to ask if you could borrow a halloween costume. You were living in the assisted living facility and they were having a halloween party. You were so giddy and excited about going. Meg and I helped you get all dressed up. And as always you were smiling that beautiful smile the whole time. I know you are in a better place now and I will see you again someday and you can remind me once again that you were my one and only Mother-In-Law....although I thought of you more like my second mom :))))) Love you!!!
Cami, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to call!!! And I love you too!!!

Dear Caroline, I am not good at this as I have never had to express my feelings on an obituary page before. First, you were WAY TOO YOUNG to die. I just saw you weeks before your death and you were your usual happy self. I still cannot believe you are gone.

I am grieving for you Caroline and I wish I had known more about you and your family for your daughter's sake.

Cami needs you to look over her now and she needs your presence which I know you will give to her. Although I didn't know much about your family, I did know how VERY MUCH you loved Cami.

You always told me how you loved the Lord - and God Bless you now - you are with him.

Caroline, rest in peace. I will miss you forever and never forget you.

Your friend,

Patti

We were friends from the age of 10. As we shared the years, we became like sisters. I will miss that smile and that lilting laugh more than words can say. That smile is gracing Heaven now.

I have several memories over the years and will hold them all dear to my heart. She definitely sought joy in what she could give, instead of what she could get. She will be greatly missed, but I know that her sweet spirit lives on in Cami. Prayers for the entire family.

Grammy
You had the most beautiful soul and all you wanted was your family to love and take care of eachother. I don't know why God had to take you when he did but I know it was for a good reason. I miss you everyday and think about your beautiful smile and infectious laugh everyday. Although ill never get to hear it again on this earth I know one day ill see you again. I love you Grammy and so happy that you finally have all that you deserve in heaven. I know God has taken good care of you and I try to remind him everyday :)

I will miss seeing her occasionally sitting in the lounge waiting for her Cami to get a break between patients. She was always in good spirits no matter what she had going on. She will be missed dearly

She was my precious mother, best friend, confidante and angel here on this earth. We shared a birthday and everthing else. She was the only person in this world who loved me unconditionally. There was never a day that we didn't speak to one another, laugh and cry together. I have never known, nor will I ever know a more generous, kind, loving spirit, nor do I believe there will ever be another like her. My heart is irreparably broken, and my only consolation is that she was also the most spiritual, God loving, humble, meek human being I have ever known and I know that Jesus Christ has her wrapped in his loving arms and she resides in the mansion he has built for her in his KIngdom. I love you Mom and I will miss you terribly until we meet again,
