Hello Friends from your Sweet Caroline!

Its been a while since Ive said hi.


I am so comfortable at this moment I can hardly keep my eyes open. Ive been drifting in and out of sleep all day. Its been wonderful to feel so peaceful, especially during the evening time. It seems we have finally crested the hill past the anxiety and discomfort I was feeling. I still listen to my music and Harry Potter, I am almost through book #4.

Don't feel sorry for me. Look how good my life is right now!

I have cute boys that sing to me and give me kisses on my mask...


Loved ones who stare at me adoringly and tell me stories of memories we share.


And if that's not enough I get foot rubs all day long.


Don't despair for me...I am at peace!
Love you all!

    My throat swelled to the size of the hoover dam when I saw that photo of Lisa... gazing at you...

    Ah..

    So glad things are peaceful.

    I am so glad you have been able to get comfortable. Thank you for this last post. I don't know how you managed to pull off such a feat, but it brought me (and I'm sure countless others) incredible peace. You have always been an incredible woman in my eyes--someone I have tried to emulate. You and Larry share something very special. Caroline--courageous, faithful, and empathetic to the very end. Lisa, you have been a pillar of strength. I'm glad I've been able to get to know you a bit through this blog (since my only other memories of you were changing your diapers as your babysitter. :)) May the Lord's love continue to be poured out upon the Rober family throughout this incredible trial. SO grateful for eternal families!!!!l The Lord's promises are real!

    Caroline I hope you know that you are, once again, helping me put things in perspective. I'll never forget the advice you gave me when I came to chat with you at Mark and Lisa's house. It has helped me over and over again when I have been so frustrated. Your story gave me hope that things will one day be everything I would want them to be. I've had some major pity parties in the last couple of weeks, but I always think about you and tell myself to put my big girl panties on (sometimes it takes awhile though... ;)). Thankful to know you have some comfort today.

    I'm so glad to have known you. And I am so grateful for the calm, quiet testimony that I have that I will see you on the other side. Save a place for me, will ya? Love and hugs, Judy.

    Dear Rober Family - I've send your wonderful hymn verse to my sister and brother-in-law in Tennessee -she's having a particularly difficult time with her Parkinson/Diabetes/Psy drugs interaction - I found it interesting that Caroline had a frozen mouth area as my sister gets frozen (not only from the Parkinson but the disturbing interaction of the Psy drugs) - - - they are LDS and I know this will help them in their trials and with me so far away. My love to you all - Georgia and PJ Smith - Your Starflower neighbor with the Irish Setter beauties

    Psalm 23: ..."The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want"...and... "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for the Lord is with me"...and "I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever"...Goodness and mercy have followed you Missy, and we LOVE you & your family, and are praying for you all. Our glorious Heaven above awaits you; the Lord will guide you, as you are one of his precious lambs, and we know you will be at peace. We will miss you tremendously, but look forward to the day to be together again in a much better place!! Our love forever, Cousin Sharon & Dennis xxxooo

    Lisa, I don't know if you are still reading the comments to your mom, but I thought I would try anyway. When Carbon Canyon was rampaged by fires a few years ago, my family was forced to evacuate. It was overwhelming to drive away from my home, not knowing if I would ever be back. We spent the first night in my sister's studio, sleeping on the floor. I had decided to get a hotel room, when our Bishop told us your mom and dad had opened their home to anyone who needed help. She greeted me at the door with a smile, helped my kids get unpacked, and played with my baby. There were toys out for my kids to play with, and warm beds for us to sleep in. The next day she helped with laundry, and watched my kids so I could check on our home. Her compassion was like a warm hug during a time when we desparately needed it. I will never forget it. Please give her a kiss for me. We are praying that you and your family will have peace during this time. Love, Nyleen Turner

    I find myself coming to your blog to check on how you are doing and then when I sign off of the blog...I come away feeling that you have strengthened me tremendously by your faith, your courage and your desire to buoy others up in spite of your own situation. I wish my visiting your blog could help you as much as visiting your blog helps me. Thank you Caroline - The Crowder's love you.

    Caroline, I just wanted to say I love you, though I do not know you. My heart is lifted as I see your courage and your family's devotion to your care. What a beautiful story you have lived. The more anguish, very often, the more sweetness. I love your hymn choice from Saturday. Your blog is so very special. Thank you to your daughter and you for it. Yours, Sarie's mom in Eureka CA.

    Sweet Caroline indeed! We are sad because we are going to be missing someone so so special! That is why we grieve so much. But not really for you... Because you, lucky lady are going to be inour heavenly fathers embrace! You will be whole, you will be beautiful inside and out and your radiance will no doubt be felt by those of us left behind. You have always been such a beautiful example of what our heavenly father wants us to be! Oh, I will miss that example but i long for the day and strive to be rhe person i need to be to see you again! I will miss you friend but thank you for everything you did for me while you were here! I love you always! Karen artavia-high

    I'm so glad to hear that you are at peace - you are such an inspiration! I pray that your family and friends (all of us!) will feel the same peace. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Kurt has a special request: When you get to the other side, look up his Grandpa Howard and give him a big hug. I can just see the joyous celebration in heaven of all the people you found in your geneological work, rushing to great you with open arms.
    May the Lord be with you til we meet again. Hugs and kisses.
