Dear Donna,Cara,Chris, Marianne and Gloria, I just left you all a little while ago and I can not stop thinking about you all. You are such a close BEAUTIFUL family that this just seems unreal to everyone. My heart aches for everyone of you and theres nothing anyone can do to take away your pain.Everywhere I look in my house, my yard, everywhere is something that reminds me of Cary. I turn the key to my door and remember the day he gave me the keys to this house. The work he put into it, the frogs he gave me that i still have in my fishbowl.How proud I was when he complimented me on my garden, being that he was AMAZING in the garden. My dads friend for so many years, his name on the sign across the street from my dads house.He should still be here!!!! It just doesnt seem right at all. I feel so helpless and I find myself just breaking down crying, and praying. I can not say enough good about Cary, what a wonderful man, dad, husband, papa, and friend. I would honestly feel like a better person just being around him. So kind, and always there to lend a hand. Always smiling. I just want to let you know how much we care about you, and you all have our hearts and prayers. PLEASE know that the world was a better place because of Cary, and it still is because he gave this world an AMAZING family, each and every one of you. Love eachother, be there for eachother, and cover those babies in kisses,in that way, a part of Cary will ALWAYS live on. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
