Benji and Emily,

I share your grief on the loss of your Mom. Carley gave me two of the most precious gifts on this earth - the two of you.

I know she is in Heaven with no more pain - just the sweet peace of our Savior. She will be waiting for you both with open arms when your time on earth is done. I will truly miss her.

Love, Grandma

Mike & Emily,

I will miss Ms. Carley very much. I remember her visits and all the fun Dylan and I had while she was here. We spent many afternoons playing outside in the play area. Ms. Carley loved to set outside and watch me ride my motorcycle. I remember one special day when she went down to the pond and we all feed the catfish. I will always remember her in my prayers.

Auntie Em & Daddy,

I'm sorry for our lost. I will miss Grandma Jackson feeding me ice and playing with me in the yard at my play place. I will miss not talking to Grandma Jackson on the phone every week. Mommy told me she is in heaven with the angels, and Jesus is watching over her.

I LOVE YOU,

Dylan Garrett Michael Travassos

Em & Benji

You now have another angel watching over you. Just remember that she is at peace now and is smiling down on you everyday. If you ever need to talk i am here. Em we have been through alot together. Please call me if you need anything. I keep thinking about that time we went to the Zoo, when we were kids, and she told us about putting peanuts in or coke. She will be greatly missed. Just remember that i love ya, and god will guide you through this period of your life. He needed another angel in heaven. She is up in heaven with my mom smiling down on both of us. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and the family.

Carly was a remarkable, strong woman. I can remember when her CB radio name was "Bionic Woman". She touched the lives of so many people. Her Ribault Class '67 classmates will miss her but she will never be forgotten.

I have not seen Carley in a very long time, but we talked via phone last year concerning our high school reunion. Carley and I go back a long way. I certainly remember Violet, too. Our mothers used to ride the bus together to work everyday, while we were in school. Carley and I, plus my brother were in string orchestra together all the way through school. I remember so many times we did things together in school. My heartfelt sympathy goes to all the family at this time. Love, Charlene

My fondest memories of Carley were when I had an appendectomy and she came to Tallahassee and spent over a week with me while I recovered. She took great care of me and was much appreciated. When my Father passed away, family and friends gathered after the service for a meal - everyone was visiting, laughing, and it seemed to me it was very noisey - my Dad had a very distinctive laugh and I missed not hearing him. I walked out of the building and was making my way to the Chapel a block or so away when Carley caught up with me and walked with me. We sat in the quietness of the chapel talking softly, sometimes crying, and remembering the good times we had had with Daddy. I appreciate that time I had with me and the comfort she was to me.
