I am proud to have had such a great friend as Caroline, in my life. She helped me many times with travel arrangements for my Mother. She would get her wheelchair assistance, but we wouldn't tell Mom, because she would say that she didn't need that.....but she really did, and Caroline knew it. Caroline is going to be missed in Helena, she was an asset to the community. My prayers are with the family.

Phillips County lost one of the sweetest, loving ladies any of us could ever meet. What an honor it was for her to call me her friend. She touched so many lives with her sweet smile and her unforgettable laugh. May her family find comfort in the Lord. I will miss her dearly.

Ms. Caroline will surely be missed. The stories she often told from her many travels were always so interesting. I almost felt as if I had been there with her. Another angel has arrived in heaven.

My prayers go out to the family. She was the best travel agent ever and I let her know with every email I sent. I will definitely miss her. She was my "momma" and looked forward to me finding that special someone. She always joked about my "wedding day" and whenever it happens I will definitely know she is smiling.

I am so sad. I just spoke with her about a month ago. I had no idea she was so ill. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Caroline was such a sweet woman. She would also ask how I was and call me her son. And I would call her Mom. I know she is so happy in heaven right now.

Mrs. Caroline was one of my all time favorite people in the world!! She and I always done each a lot of 'favors' and remained loyal all through the years. The last car she purchased she called my mother to try to find me and I was in Jackson, Miss at the time and two days later Mrs. Caroline drove to Jackson and bought the Cadillac she presently had. I will miss seeing your 'likes' and always nice supporting comments on FaceBook as well......What a great person who always had such a positive outlook.

I am so honored to have known Caroline, she was a wonderful lady who always had a smile and no matter where you saw her, she always had time to chat. She had unique earrings, which she said were her angels, one thing I know for sure, "heaven got one sweet angel" when she went home. My prayers and thoughts are with her family.

Is is so hard to realize Caroline is gone. She was such an "alive" person and no matter how bad the problem - she had a great attitude about life. I miss her already.

Caroline was such a vibrant person who loved life. I always enjoyed being with her and singing in the choir with her at St. John's. All who knew her will miss her wonderful smile and her unforgettable laugh. Goodbye, sweet friend.
