what an honor to have known Ms. Carrie while she was living at St. Paul's. I remember trying to get her to eat cake at the 100th birthday parties and she usually had another agenda, never a dull moment. I did enjoy her and her family though!! Prayers to you all, she will be missed for sure.

Ms. Pretty Carrie!!! You were such a hoot and so fun to be around! I remember one particular time where you had me laughing so hard, I was in tears.. we had good times and sad times (when the Inn closed) I cried when you left... you sure knew how to bring out the tears... and here we are again! I am so thankful I got the chance to know you and work for you at St. Paul's! It is such an honor to have had you in my life ! You will always be in my heart! I will miss you dearly, my friend!

I will always remember visiting with Carrie while she was living at St. Paul's and also at Holy Cross. She wasn't always communicating clearly at times. We could always sing an old gospel tune together or talk about her sweet potato pie!
