Carly, we love you so much. Some of our best memories are of the fun times we had in Key West, with your family and ours. We were so looking forward to getting together with you, Jessie, and Charlie when we visit Charleston early next year. We are filled with sadness that will not be possibble.

Jim, Debi, Jessie, Andy, and PJ, please know you have our sincerest sympathy and will be forever in our hearts and prayers.

Rest in peace, Carly. Your beautiful smile will remain always in our hearts. We will miss you so very much.

Sweet Jess, although I wasn't privileged to know your Carly personally I feel as though I did through "The Adventures of you, Marie, Jill and my Sara."". Sara often spoke of how she envied Carly's free-spirited fun-loving live life to it's fullest outlook. Though Carly will be missed by all who were blessed to know her I hope you find comfort in the knowledge that she is home with her Heavenly Father and smiling down on you with all hope that your mourning will quickly be replaced with memories of the joy and happiness that was her essence. My love, thoughts, and prayers are with you now as always.
