Caroline was great during the broadcast. I’ll remember it forever. Bruins showed some class in doing that and honoring her before the game tonight. Brought tears to my eyes. Her great smile and great personality shined that night. RIP

Caroline M. Fries, Barnstable High School junior

Caroline Marie Fries, 17, of Centerville, ended a 3-year battle with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer, on Jan. 25.

She was the daughter of Christine (Cole) and Wesley Fries.

A junior at Barnstable High School, she loved travel, beaches, dolphins and taking care of children. A great deal of her life centered around the Barnstable Recreation Department and Barnstable Youth Hockey Association, where she participated in both figure skating and hockey. Although she was unable to continue skating, she managed the high school girl’s hockey team for the last three seasons and worked at the rink. After she fell ill she still made a point of attending her siblings’ games whenever she could.

Her travels took her to Hawaii, Turks and Caicos Islands, Los Angeles, Florida and London.

Besides her parents, she leaves two brothers, Corbin and Connor, and sister Christina; grandparents Robert and Beverly Cohan, George and Marty Cole, and Rita Fries; aunts and uncles; cousins; and many dear friends, extended family and her beloved dogs Gracie and tiny floppy Chloe.

A funeral service was held at Our Lady of Victory Church, Centerville. Burial was private.
Memorial donations may be made to The Jimmy Fund Clinic/Teen Resources, Attn: Lisa Scherber, 44 Binney St., Boston, MA 02115.

Just watched Eric’s turn (second period). Another nice job! He had that laid back announcing style. Unfortunately, the game is BOS 6, TOR 5, and we’ve got one more period to go!

Just watched Caroline’s turn (first period). Very nice! At the finish, she said “It’s so fast!”

This reminds me of the time Dale and Neumy had Travis Roy on and Travis pretty much made the two of them look like idiots.
