Think about you all the time Carter.

Missed.

Dear ones, Thinking of all of you and the impact that he had on everyone's life. Thinking as well of our times together at BHS.

Such Warm Memories, missing you and Carol with Love!

I don't think anyone will be able to duplicate his falling backwards loopy forehand shot. He truly had mastered that shot. Sorry for your lost but hopefully memories of his smile will brighten your sorrows and ease your pain.
