Words cannot begin to explain what a wonderful person Carrie was. She fought a tough battle and will always be remembered. My most heartfelt condolences are extended to all who knew Carrie and are affected by her passing. She was a beautiful person in so many ways not by just pure beauty but in every aspect of her being. Those who had the pleasure of knowing Carrie please know I understand the pain you must be feeling, but please don't be sad for she no longer has to suffer. Knowing that she won't suffer anymore doesn't necessarily make it any easier, but she wouldn't want you to be sad. She leaves many loved ones physically but she will always remain in our hearts and thoughts. For those who loved Carrie dearly know that her memory will never fade. I send my deepest sympathy to all who mourne Carrie's passing. God be with each and every one of you in your time of loss.

I dont know any of you, but I came across this just reading through the paper and felt a need to express my sympathy and condolences for Carrie, her daughter, fiance and family. 23 is just way too young.. theres still so much to live for at a young 23! Im 21 I know I have a whole life ahead of me, but I know the good lord can change that anytime he feels the need. He's the only one who knows why he does the things he does. Though we may not understand, someday we learn to accept. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. May you find in God the comfort and strength that you need to get through such a difficult time. God Bless You All..



Sincerely,

Katie Suttles
