Caroline
Caroline Liberty was my best friend and it’s impossible to capture how much she meant to me and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was a just a good person through and through.
She always managed to see the good in every person she met and went out of her way to help in anyway she could. She was the ultimate hype man, who encouraged everyone to do their best and would celebrate your victories no matter how small. She shared the same enthusiasm for landing a new job or getting over 20 likes on a new Instagram picture. (Photo credit: Caroline Liberty Photography)
She just wanted to see everyone live their best life and have fun while doing it. She was an incredibly selfless person; she wouldn’t just give you the shirt off her back, she’d buy you a matching outfit so you could be “twins”.
The Cape Liberty Foundation was created in her honor to continue sharing the generosity and compassion that she emulated. It’s impossible not to smile when I think about her.
The world is a little bit darker without her, but she’d love the light we’re spreading in her name, even if it’s a fraction of the warmth she radiated.

Thinking of Caroline brings up a heap of emotions for me. Caroline was my best friend and I miss her so much every day. Everything about Caroline was positive and contagious. Everything from her personality to her laugh and her smile. Caroline brought in a presence like no other and others gravitated towards that. Caroline also had a considerate and thoughtful personality. She always cared for others and wanted others to achieve greatness and to continue going.
Caroline would also build others confidence, by letting them know that they are “beautiful.” Caroline and I were attached at the hip throughout high school. She was always that glow in the hallways that always shared a smile on her face followed by a “hey girlfriend” to whoever would give her the time of day. Her ability to make others laugh and look on the positive side of things was one of her many strengths as well as her ability to stand up for others and the things that she believed in.
Throughout all of the memories, I think her ability to turn people’s days around had to be the best. I remember in school, she would be one of the first people to ask someone how their weekend was or how they did on a test. Caroline would also be the first one to provide positivity, support, encouragement and a genuine caring feeling to someone if they needed it.
The Cape Liberty Foundation lets Caroline’s positive, giving and caring way of life continue, by helping others to have the chance to achieve their own greatness which is what Caroline would want for everyone. I hope her memory stays alive and that others are able to visualize who Caroline really was. She was someone special who had lots to give, she is someone who will forever have a place in my heart.

Describing who Caroline Liberty was is like trying to explain how water tastes. Nearly impossible, but I’ll do my best.
Caroline was sunshine. She was bright and shiny and radiated positivity. She had so much love for her family and friends she would actually scream every single time she saw someone she loved out of pure excitement. Her laugh was contagious and lit up everyone’s day around her. She showed compassion to absolutely anyone who needed it and never asked questions or judged.
Even at a young age she would use her kindness to help whoever she could, from volunteering to repaint the middle school while in the eighth grade, to asking for help when a high school friend couldn’t afford a state exam she needed to take.
That is the kind of selflessness and open mindedness we are trying to recreate with the Cape Liberty Scholarship. I hope with this scholarship we can bring even half of the happiness to someone, as Caroline brought to my life and everyone who was lucky enough to know her sunshine.
