    Caroline was nice lady with a caring soul. I never knew her to not have a smile and genuine interest in those she was around. She and Veryl made a great team. My condolences to her family.

    Julia, Doug and family
    I have known your mom for almost 40 years. She took me under her wing when I started at Chastains Nursing Home. She helped me through some tough times and shared a lot of good times. She will be missed greatly. She is now resting in peace with Veryl.
