My condolences to the family, friends and the "Kooch" family too. Take consolation that she will remain young and beautiful forever. Our time here is always too short. Follow your purpose and love each other. God's in charge; just take it one day at a time, 'till you see her again.

I remember the day at the dentist office many years ago when Linda and I reconnected and found out that we both named our daughters Carly! ( I also told her we went back and forth between naming our daughter Sidney or Carly and was totally shocked when Linda told me her older daughter was named Sidney!) I love you Linda and Hank, and my heart is broken for you. I thank G-d that your Carly went to heaven with the love of her life, Ryan. I hope you can find some source of solace knowing they left this earth together and they will eternally be bound to each other.

I met Carly out in Aspen in the shop where she worked. We got to talking and found out she was from Anderson where I live as well. Found out she knew a few people that I did so I took a picture of us together to show the people back home and what a coincidence it was being so far away! She seemed like a real sweetheart, very friendly and expressed her love of Aspen and skiing. When I saw her picture with her obituary, I knew it was the same girl. I am so sorry for your loss and hope you find comfort in the memories. God bless!
