ZOPF 

I’m calling this post “Sweet Caroline!”. 

Caroline Tolmie, born December 19th, 1936 in Glasgow, Scotland, and the beloved mother of Fraser Tolmie, passed away Tuesday, October 8th, 2024.  This is my favourite picture of her.  Last night, my mother was promoted to glory, and this is a time of celebration not mourning. 

Caroline lived a life that honoured God by sacrificing for her family, putting others first, and being kind to strangers!  For those of you who knew her, you knew her wonderful sense of humour and joyful demeanour.
