Mr. Caraway was a nice man. I knew him through teaching his two younger sons, seeing him at associational meetings and at Mike’s in Amite, and through his wife who helped plan the yearly senior adult revivals for our association. He has been sick for a while and she has fought right along with him each day. Please pray for his family.
