I remember your mother in my younger years. I have thought of her every once in awhile wondering how she has been doing. Taking a picture with one of her family members whom I once loved and was so important to my life. She was a kind gentle soul who had so much faith. She was one beautiful woman. - Posted by: Crystal (Friend ) on: Dec 11, 2018

My condolences to all the members of Carrie's Family. When Lorraine and I lived at Lake St. Martin during the mid 60's Carrie & Stan became good friends of ours. She was a quiet, gentle spirited lady and she will truly be missed. - Posted by: Edward R. Arndt (Long time friend-former Teacher at Lake St. Martin) on: Aug 28, 2013
