Gina, I am so sorry, I was going to come this morning, but I am getting freezing rain and I don’t drive on slick roads. If you need to talk, please call my number is still the same. I have gone through this same sorrow and miss Mother everyday. Hugs and Prayers.
Carrie “tiny” and I became friends when we started high school at Duval.She was always talented.We chose different paths in life. I moved away and worked in sales and she chose to be a teacher going to school at night to get her degree working during the day.I tried to touch base when I came in and we would catch up. It is hard to believe she is no longer with us but will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace my friend.
My late mother, June Cardwell, and Carrie met when they both worked at Ruthlawn Elementary. They were long time friends, and I have fond memories of the two of them together. My sincerest sympathies to the family as they grieve.
I am so sorry for your loss, I always enjoyed talking with her.
My thoughts are prayers are with you both Gina and Elizabeth. I am so glad you guys shared her with us. She was such an inspiration and wonderful role model. I will miss her tremendously! I’m so sorry.
