......Don't think of her as gone away, her journey has just begun.....

......life holds so many facets, this earth is only one......

......Just think of her as resting, from the sorrows and the tears......

......in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years......

......Think how she must be wishing that we could know today.......

......how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.......

......And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched......

......for nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much.....

Dear Donna and family,
My heart aches for your loss. You are all in my thoughts.

Dear Watlers Family,
Having been out of town for a few days, I was terribly saddened to learn of your loss upon my return today. Although I knew Caroline for just one short year before she graduated from DA, she was one of my favorite students who always could make me laugh even when trying to show my most serious teacher face. What a sweet, charming, intelligent and lovely young lady Caroline was. Her smile and laughter lit up the classroom whenever she walked into it. It was impossible not to love Caroline from the very start when I met her in class at the beginning of her senior year at DA. God gave everyone who has known her, even for a very short time, a great blessing to be cherished for eternity. Her light and love will shine within all of our hearts and minds whenver we think of her, her smiling face, her sweetness & love for everyone, and her always cheerful disposition. What a gift she has been to everyone and will be remembered forever as the shining light she was.
May God's richest blessings and love rain down upon all of you and may He lessen your grief and sadness with His ever present love.

Dear Walters Family, I was deeply saddened by Caroline's passing. She had such joy in living and inner grace and beauty. I remember her laughter in my English class at DA and her positive outlook about life. I also recall a conversation with her when I called Deerfield--she got me updated on all her classmates--it was so special.
May you find peace in the days ahead and feel God's comforting presence to see you through. Caroline has just transferred her membership to the church triumphant and you will be reunited.

When I graduated college, I began subbing at Mason Prep regularly before taking my first teaching job at DA. Caroline made the move to DA the same year I did, and her familiar smiling face in my class was such a simple comfort to a brand new, first year teacher in a sea of strangers! I had the privilege of teaching her French for four years and so enjoyed her fun-loving, spunky spirit, which sounds like it never changed! Hugh, Donna, and Lauren, my heart aches for you and I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that you will find comfort in the shadow of His wings.
