Carrie was our neighbor for 37 years and we enjoyed knowing she was there along with James until his death. it sounds so trivial to say they will be missed but it is a loss for our family and for the other neighbors as well.We loved Carrie.

"At the beginning, I am nothing. At the end, I am nothing. It is how I live and love that fills the void. The lives I touch, the wounds I heal, and the joy I bring... That makes me something. As long as I live in the hearts and souls of others, I will never die." - Unknown
Love and blessings to your family always. Know that you are in my thoughts and loved.

Love you guys,
