Dear Mary,
When I read about your Mom it brought many fond memories of her when we would come to visit, and especially the time she so generously gave me a ceramic multi -colored pitcher she had made. It has always been displayed in our home in California and to this day I get so many compliments on it. And, at the same time remember how sweet she was.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

Mary - I'm so sorry to hear of Carrie's passing. I will always remember her joy of sewing & quilting and how glad she was to be able to share her projects with other residents. She made my day brighter in so many ways. I will miss her ready smile and hugs.
