“First of all, my sincerest apologies for such a late message as I was only recently made aware of Caroline's passing this last weekend. I only had the chance to know Caroline for a very short period of time in the few months before she passed. I was a cardiac patient at the same time as Caroline. While I was the youngest in cardiac rehab at the age of 40, she and I connected. She would say to me that "you was an inspiration to me." And as I shared publicly, Caroline was the true inspiration to me. For the first time in my life, I truly found an person that inspired me. To see her come to cardiac rehab and fight. I could tell she had such a love for life and her family. She brought a smile to the room everyday. She brought a smile to my heart that was in dire need of healing.

Caroline, your family is fortunate to have had your love and friendship for so many years. I am simply lucky to have received your friendship in those few short months that will carry with me for the rest of my life.

May you rest in peace and smile down upon us for you place in heaven.

Sincerely,
Joe”

“Are prayers have been with the family with Caroline being in the hospital so much the past five months. She will be missed by so many people. She was a hard worker at church and in helping anyone who needed a helping hand. We're all going to miss the card games kids, grandkids, brothers, & sister. We'll miss her phone calls just to see how everyone was and what we were busy at. No matter how sick she was her coment would be (It isn't that bad) I'll be better in a few days. Lester called and talked on Wednesday afternoon and couldn't really under stand her words so knew she was weak. Now at home up above and she's. Teaching the new card games to everyone.Caroline will always be with us all of us. Her memory's will go with everyone who knew her for years to come.r”

“We cannot express the sorrow we feel for your family's loss and want to send our sincere condolences. We understand... I lost mom in December. Our hope is to bring you comfort!

Jesus Christ promised. “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5: 28, 29)

Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The former things have passed away.”

"No resident will say I am sick."
“At that time the eyes of the blind ones will be opened and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped. At that time the lame one will climb up just as a stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness.”
(Isaiah 33:24 and 35:5, 6.)

It helps me to think of the day when there will no longer be obituary columns to bring sadness, instead there may be just the opposite, announcements of newly resurrected ones... and we can welcome them back with open arms!

No matter how great the promises are we still miss them. I miss my mom terribly every day! My husband and I were given a audio link of others who coped with the loss of a loved one and it was wonderful to receive. I'm including it for you.
