We never know why God calls certain people before others but we do know that God only wants the best to join Him. Treasure all of the happy moments you shared with cousin Caroline and know that one day we will all be together again to share a never ending life - - free of pain, free of illness and full of eternal happiness.

God bless all of you -

Cousin Dave and family,
It was a long but beautiful day. I'm sure cousin Caroline made sure we had plenty of sunshine. I am so glad that we got to spend time together what a blessing to see what a beautiful family she raised. You all take care of each other and don't stay away so long. God bless you all and may you all return to your homes safely. Love and prayers, Cathy Reyes

I remember fondly stopping by the Vasquez house on our trips to Colorado Springs.

Caroline made the best Mole and her girls are a beautiful reflection of her.

RIP Nina! In the last e-mail I received from you you said that you needed to start being a better godmother to the girls, and I laughed because you were the BEST and ONLY godmother to my girls! I love you, I miss you, and I regret not being a better person and visiting you and Dave more often. I will hold all your words of encouragement and understanding close to my heart forever! May your journey be easier from here on out...we love you Nina Carol!
