She and my Mom grew up together in Parkesburg and remained friends up until the time of Mom's passing. Carrie would always remind any one of us how much she missed "Clara".
She had a special greeting when she met us. Each time she would say, "Hi Honey". I can remember as a child, Carrie always being the same...... sincere, pleasant, a lot of fun and just a nice person to be around. It was a privilege of knowing Carrie and having her in my life.
