After moving away from the area I would visit Caroline when I would come back on vacations but eventually lost touch with her. For some reason today she was on my mind and I tried to find her but was saddened when I found her obituary. Caroline and Wayman were like adopted grandparents to me and I will really miss her.

The Farris family used to live next door to us on Bank St many years ago. They were such a sweet family. Jimmy went to Portland Christian with me for a year or two. My grandmother and me attended Jimmy's funeral. That too was a sad day. May God give the family peace from their loss.
