So sad to read that Caroline had passed. She was my Aunt Eleanor's sister and I've know her my whole life. Since we both belonged to Lake Edge Lutheran Church, we would always talk about how our families were doing. Caroline was always a very friendly person that loved her family and was happy to talk about them. I'll miss Caroline and will think of her often during worship at Lake Edge.
