Carrie was like a sister to me. We were such great friends. I miss her so much. It has been hard not hearing her voice everyday. I was with her when her mother passed, and since that day all I saw was pain in her eyes. I just wanted to be there for her so she knew someone loved and cared for her. We helped each other out when we needed it. If anyone wants to see the beagles, they are at my house. Just send me an e-mail. I miss you Carrie and I will always miss and love you so much.

My red-headed beauty. I'm going to miss you very much. You were loved by all even though you didn't think so. I know you are with the person you loved the most your Mom.. I loved you both very much. It still hurts to think about your Mom and now the hurt is even worse. I just wanted to thank everyone for their warm wishes.

My deepest sympathy to Herb and the entire family on such a tragic loss. I shall always remember Carrie as the sweet little girl who sat at her daddy's side during her visits to his office and would declare proudly "I'm going to work with my daddy when I grow up." My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

Carrie was one of the sweetiest, kind-hearted people I have ever met. I only knew her for a year, but she made such a difference in my life in such a short time. I will miss being able to talk to her every day.

Carrie was one of my best friends.

I loved her with all of my heart. She was by far one of the nicest people I will ever meet and I will miss her everyday for the rest of my life. She will never be forgotten and I'm glad she was in my life.

I feel extremely sorrowful at the loss of Carrie. She had a hard time dealing with her mom passing away and now infortunately she has passed on as well. It saddens me that she's gone from this life, but I know that at least she'll have peace in Heaven and I'm sure her mom welcomed here there with open arms.
