I'm sorry to read about the deaths of Patricia and Alison Carey last summer. I hope Mariah and her family are doing okay these days. I think I may have seen an episode of Oprah where Mariah and her mom was being interviewed. May Patricia and Alison both RIP.

Hello, I lived across from the Careys when they lived in South Huntington. My sister went to preschool with Alison and my mother was friends with Pat and played guitar sometimes for some of Pat's nearby performances. My family and the Careys were active in the Civil Rights movement and I was a member of a kids' choir that Pat directed. When Mariah was born, I babysat for her and the family. I have lovely memories of being their neighbor. I was so sad to learn about Pat's and Alison's passing. Sending love and caring thoughts to the family. <3
