Dear Amy, I am so very sorry to learn about this loss. I wanted to let you know that I had heard, and plan to send you a card within the next few days that talks about more. You were an amazing mother to her, and although I realize it will take you some time, I hope someday you feel some peace around this. I believe we will have an answer someday. Hugs and hoping your heart heals some, "Kate "M. from New Bedford

I am never going to forget all of the fun times shared with Cara. Ever since she was a little girl she always made me laugh and we had a special kind of bond that I will forever treasure. Cara would call me her "little sister" eventhough I was 8 years older than her. It always made me feel special when she would call me that. You will forever be missed. 143

I can't even put into words how sad I am for the loss of Cara. Cara was like no one I have never meant before. Her imagination was like no other, her smile was contagious... I had the honor of growing up with Cara, she was like a little sister to me.. She made everyone laugh and smile ever since she learned how to talk... Cara you will truly be missed... I hope that Larry is giving you non stop " bronking brookos" up there.. Rest easy sweet girl.
