Dear Paul and family,
Caroline was a wonderful and loving person. What a huge loss for the friends and family. We worked together at Agracetus Biotechnology Company in Middleton for many years before she took a job with the state. Thereafter, we met her and John at Good Neighbor Festival just about every year. What a loving and caring couple! Last time I met her she was in great health and happy. Quite a shock to read her obituary.
Caroline was the face of Agarcetus: always cheerful, happy and welcoming. Her smiles were infectious. She loved organizing company parties and did it what appeared to be effortlessly! Everyone at the company loved her -- a person for the ages.
Up there in heaven, Caroline is laughing, organizing parties and making other folks happy.
Gurdip and Dorothy Brar, Middleton
