My thoughts are with all of you and wish I could be there with you as well. I remember Mrs. Jones Nana she liked to be called so well and I was happy to grow up in my second home, the Jenkins house. She was a big part of my life since the 7th grade!!! It breaks my heart that she is no longer with all of you.

Dear Claudia, Brenda & family,
I am so sorry for your loss. It is times like these we cherish the fond memories we had of our loved ones rather than focusing on the last days before they passed. One thing your mother/grandmother knew for sure was that she was cared for and loved.

She had a big heart and extended it beyond just family which was a blessing for many! Caroline will be missed however most certainly not forgotten as we all have “Memories”.

Claudia, Brenda and Family,
We are saddened of your loss, I know this is a difficult time and no words can make it better. I was only lucky enough to be around Caroline on a few occasions, but what a woman. She was well loved and will be missed!

God looked around his garden and saw an empty place.He then looked down on earth,and saw Caroline tired face.He put his arms around her and lifted her to rest.Gods garden must be a beautiful place,He only take the best.
He knew that Caroline would never get well on earth again.He saw the road getting rough and hills hard to climb,so he closed her weary eyes and whispered “Peace Be Mine”
It broke many hearts to lose her but she as not gone alone,for part of her family went with her the day God called her home.
If tears could build a stairway and heartaches could make a lane,you all would walk a path to heaven and bring her home again.
