So sorry to hear of Mrs.Carr's passing. She took a brand new nursing graduate under her wing and showed me the kind of nurse I wanted to become. Not only was she a mentor but a friend. Many fond remembrances of good times while working Ideal Hospital pediatric unit.

Reading her obit all I could think was, " she was amazing." I only know one of her girls and to quote a good friend, "she must have been a great mom because she raised an amazing daughter." Char and sisters I am sorry for the pain you are going through and I can only hope that memories of better times will help you through.
