There comes a time when God needs more angels and this was one. We have known Caroline for many years. We weren't close but when we always seen her she treated us like we seen each other everyday. She had a living heart, a great laugh and a beautiful smile. Always made you feel right at home. We feel so honored to have known her. Rest in peace.
