To all of you at this difficult time,

The Clemmons family holds many fond memories of all the Bragen/Madejs! I remember when Cookie brought Carrie to dinner when we - Carrie and I - were in about 5th grade hoping we would be great friends like her and Karen! Although we did not run in the same circles at St. Sym's, I always liked Carrie and remember her being: kind, gentle, sweet, blonde and beautiful - I am sure she never changed!

We were so shocked and so very saddened to read of her passing in the obituaries and at such a young age! Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to all of you at this time! We can also empathize since we, too, lost a sister/daughter/friend in Ralph's wife, Sue, 4 years ago - the only comfort is in knowing they are at peace and are our angels in heaven now. Please take comfort in that and also in knowing that old friends are thinking of you fondly and praying for you at this extremely difficult time.

Fondly - Debbie (Clemmons) Drews and all of us Clemmonses
