Carrie I feel blessed to have met you and become friends, I only wish I had made more of an effort to keep in touch. You inspired me so much. I hope you're resting in peace and give "Jamaican Wayne" a hug for me! I will think of you often with a smile on my face, a giggle inside, a tear in my eye and warm heart over the memories etched in my mind. Rest easy and I pray you're at peace.

Condolences to the family and friends that so loved Carrie. I met Carrie working with her children to enroll them at Milton Hershey School. Carrie loved her children so much to give them the opportunity to attend MHS. Prayers go out to her children, family and friends.

Carrie I have an empty space in my heart for the loss of you and for your children. I know how much you loved them and how you wanted the best for them. I remember how the girls were inseparable. I am so sorry I didn't make a point to come and see you more often and keep the girls close. I will have you in my heart forever. I still really cant believe your gone. There are truly no words. You touched many hearts and my heart breaks for your children. You had a beautiful soul Carrie.

Dear Christine and family,
My heart is so heavy to learn Carrie, my friend and former classmate at Hesser College, has passed. She worked so hard to achieve her goals and dreams! She was a mama bear who loved and protected her children. Carrie was also a fiercely loyal to her true friends. May God bless and comfort you all during this very difficult time.
Sincerely,
Brenda Short
