With love & sympathy

Alicia and Brian I am sorry to learn of the passing of your Mother.  I hope knowing that you and your family are in my prayers during this difficult time will help.

Stan and family. 
  As a neighbor I enjoyed talking to Caroline when she was outdoors. Always happy to talk about her grandchildren that made her so proud. I loved her beautiful smile. She was loved and will be missed by many.

How blessed I am to have known Carolin. Her complete devotion to her family was nothing less than an inspiring. She will be missed here but her legacy of love and generosity will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.

I don't know anyone who was as proud of her grandchildren as Carolin was. She loved them and her children unconditionally. We're so sorry, Stan, for the loss of your best friend and soulmate.

I was blessed with knowing Carolin after meeting her at Hillgrove High when I became Alex's theatre director for the 2011-2012 school year. I will always remember and appreciate her support while I was at Hillgrove. I will never forget the light that shone in her eyes and the smile on her face after seeing Alex perform. "Warm summer sun shine softly here, warm southern breeze blow kindly here. Green sod above, rest light, rest light. Good-night, Carolin, good-night..." (paraphrased from a poem by Robert Richardson)

What a lovely mother. She always talked highly of my sister and I like we were some sort of prize children. In reality we are just ordinary people. I think that describes her best. She sees all your potential and none of your flaws. Thats a true mother for you. We love you dearly as you loved us.

I was privileged to have Carolin as my sister in law. Brenda and I spent a good deal of time with Carolin and Stan. I loved Carolin for the wonderful person she was and always enjoyed her company. She will be sorely missed.

Carolin's sweet smile and gentle words of love are sorely missed here on earth, but how great to know that we will be reunited with her in glory to worship and rule with our Lord forever. May God bless all the family and may you feel His sweet tenderness as you mourn. We love you and are lifting you all up in our prayers.  Carl & Anne Fowler

Caroline and I were classmates at Osborne for 12 years. She was also my neighbor and I fondly remember many days playing with Brenda and Caroline.  Loved her parents so much. She will be missed. Heaven gained a special angel today.  Ruth and David Burgess

Stan, it was a GREAT and WARM feeling knowing Carolin. Sandee fondly remembers working with her and you at Nash Middle School, and how quiet she was. We like to feel we are better people knowing her and her constant Christian attitude. Sandee and I loved her and believe you know how much you are loved and appreciated by us. Thank God she is at rest with Him1 See you Sunday!

Carolin and I made a great team through the years. I was mostly bombast and she was all backbone. Sure, I spared her 
a rib, but she managed to do most of the heavy lifting during
our marriage. I'm not worth less because she is gone, but I'm
worth so much more because I knew and loved her. Our wonderful life here will transition into eternity. Beloved by me. More importantly, Loved by a merciful Savior.
