It is with a deep, heavy and sad heart that I write in this guest book. For it is with great love, appreciation, gratitude and respect that I have for Ms. Carrie Mae Porter, my mother-in-law. From my standpoint, she was a great person that was able to always grow relationships, regardless to who the loved one was in her life. I can only hope that one day my children and their spouses will have similiar feelings about me and their mom.

She was such a kind; soft spoken, loving and caring person that all that knew her well, will be at a great loss, with a void in their (our) life that can never be filled by any other person(s). Rest in peace mom, because you left us with so many tangible precious memories that you'll always be a special part of all our lives. With love always. Sincerely,
