   To the Scott family,
   You are all in my thoughts and prayers, it was always so nice to sit and visit with Caroline when she came to the Care Center to visit Jerry. We shared the love of quilting and we would talk all about projects and all the new things and places to find the best fabric. What a great lady she was.
   Angie
