I was never able to meet my precious friend's mom, but you sure did a beautiful job with your considerate, loving and selfless daughter, Mrs. Childers! Carrie (AND the kids) have been a joy & pleasure in my life for several years. As much as you will be missed her on earth, I know you are treasured in heaven. You will live on through your daughter's laugh, love & life here on earth and one day we will ALL be together for eternity! I am blessed by your legacy (through Carrie). Love and Prayers for each of you as you journey through this difficult time of transition & grief.
