Happy Blessed Birthday Dear sweet Caren, will think of you always. xoxoxo ~ The Estrada Family xxoxoxo

Miss you every Christmas Caren. Thank you for capturing our children in such fun ways. YOU ARE A SPECIAL ANGEL! *

Thinking of her talent and friendship everytime I look at the pictures hanging of my children. Never had any taken again. I can't imagine how big Catherine is now - a young lady. I am sure she knows how awesome her Mama was. I know this family misses her. Rest easy girl.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Debbie and your whole family. I can't imagine what you are going through, but please know I will always be here for you. Caren is missed today and always.
Love,
Geraldine

Today my thoughts and prayers are with Randy and Catherine as well as the whole family. I have missed Caren every day throughout this past year and I know it is a difficult day for them. Love, Janine

I woke up today thinking of Caren. When I saw Catherine for her birthday, I thought she is gorgeous,just like Caren. What a legacy. Randy you are amazing through this all. I know she is with you, you can tell by your grace. Caren is amazing and deeply missed. We will meet again, heart of gold, no doubt.

Love and Prayers,
Jenny

To Carens Family,

I just today found out that Caren had passed away. I was shocked as I didn't even know she was ill. She has taken photos of my son since he was six months old and he is now 18. He was very shy, but she always managed to get him to relax and got great pictures. She did such beautiful work, and was always so nice and cheerful. I was going to contact her about taking his pictures in the spring when he graduates from high school. I mentioned this to a friend who...

I passed by the shop today and saw it was for sale. I just figured that Caren needed a bigger spot. Never, in a million years, would I think that the cancer she was fighting had beat her. I mentioned the closing of the store to my friend and she informed me of Caren's passing. I cried for her - how much she loved that baby. I loved looking at the portraits to see how she had grown since our last visit. She had become a staple in our home - all the beautiful photos from the birth of my...

It is with great sorry and gratefulness for all the years we came to know Caren. Caren photographed our family since we moved to Smithtown. I think over 24 years we had a Christmas photo taken by Caren!! They line the wall up our staircase and now will not only remind us of how small the children were but how lovingly Caren captured there uniqueness each year!! We will miss her. We send our sympathy and prayers with the hope that your loved ones will minister to your saddened hearts.
