"I haven't seen Carrie in quite some time, but so many of my early memories have her in them. She spent countless days watching my sister and I when we were young and even though we drive her crazy there was nothing but kindness from her. Carrie will be missed by anyone who had the opportunity to cross her path, I hope she is able to be at peace now. "

"I am so sorry to hear about Carrie. It's been awhile since I have seen her. One memory I have was when we took her to California March 1995....she was so excited. She loved walking on the beach.... She had fun at Disney. She got completely soaked at Sea World. She was so full of laughter at that time. I think I will remember Carrie as having had so much fun on her vacation. May she rest in peace. My condolences to her family."

"I remember Carrie as a teenager in a ponytail. I remember Carrie on her wedding day in a white dress and a tattoo. I remember how proud Carrie was when she first introduced me to her beautiful baby boy, Lucas .I remember when Carrie graduated and the beautiful, inspirational speech she gave. I remember the respect, love and care she showed Brian and Carol. I remember washing her hair when she was in the hospital. I remember the pain. I remember the struggle. I remember Carrie as a loving Mother, who was so proud of her little boy, and how her love never wavered. RIP, Carrie. Give Brian a big hug for me. Jan"
