Aunty Caroline (was was not really my Aunt, but we adopted as Aunty due to being my Mother’s best friend). We grew up with Aunty Caroline, Uncle Rick and the family since I was born. We did a lot of family activities together. Aunty Caroline, Uncle Rick, my Dad and Mom were always together. Although Aunty Caroline will be missed, she is now in heaven not only with her husband, but with her best friends. Rest In Peace Aunty Caroline. Love you!

Caroline and Rick were my childhood neighbors at a time when your neighbors looked out for the children in the neighborhood. She inspired a wonderful sense of community by hosting an annual neighborhood block party. Caroline was a dynamic, kind, and caring woman of whom I will always have fond memories.
