My deepest sympathy to my long time friends from the Carter family, most especially Wassy, my former teammate and fellow Newtonian. God bless you all in the loss of your mother, wife, sister, and Auntie. God speed Mrs. Carter

My heartfelt condolences go out to my dear friend Wassy, Mr. Carter ("Skipper") and the whole Carter/Cooper family.

Wassy - your Mom was a beautiful and bright light in this world whose warmth and smile lit up a room.
She ALWAYS greeted me with a big smile and a sincere loving hug, she was just pure joy to know.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you my friend and your whole family. There's no doubt she is in a better place and at peace now but, she will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Love you lots,
Nancy xo
