My sweet friend, time has gone by and I want you to feel .., I miss you dearly.  You and I were not done!!!   And the 4 of us truly had just begun.... We all fit together like peas & carrots!  What a blessing that we all had such appreciation for one another!   The picture of us blowing bubbles at my wedding reception holds us close at heart. I miss you beautiful girl!  I miss you more!  None of us were done yet!

Carrie. You were one of a kind. You always made a good time better. You made people better trying to keep up with you. A conversation with you was a rare delight in a kaleidoscope of range and color. You were loved and will never be forgotten.

No matter how bad the day was, you always seemed to make it better. Everything was OK. You helped make sense of what was a crazy time. You became a best friend. My best friend. I can never express with just a "thank you", but sadly that is all I know how to say. Thank you. Thank you for your kindness, for you laughter, for your kind heart and free spirit. Thank you for helping me find a piece of me I was missing. You truly were a blessing. Love and miss you. Rest in Paradise.

Carrie, my love, the world is a lesser place without you. You will never be forgotten,  especially by me.  Still wear your Kings hat, you will be remembered at the Staples Center.

Carrie Jean, The Little One,,CJ, Care package, Care Bear, The Imp, The Baby Monster...We all had our names for her. She touched us. She changed our world. She was a force of nature.
She was my girlfriend for 3 1/2 years and we lived together for about 1 1/2 years of that time. I was smitten.
Carrie was a light. She cared so much about others. Always there for people in need. She made friends at the drop of a hat. No One was left out. She made everyone feel unique and special...They had value!
She was a Kook. She ran on Carrie Time....which no one could ever figure out but late or not some how it worked. She loved to laugh and she was hilarious. She was brilliant, she had a super quick mind and she could remember details about your life that even you had forgotten about. She could do anything she put her mind to. If you were a friend she ALWAYS had your back. She had an absolutely generous spirit. She was a true "One Of A Kind". I have never met anyone remotely like her in my whole life!
She could drive you absolutely nuts and yet make you glad you were there while she was doing it.
She changed me, made me look at the world different. She'd say "It's the journey not the destination Tim". Over the years so many times I'm in a situation and her words from the past echo in me and help me through. 
I respected her, I looked up to her, I Was A FAN!
 Even though we broke up we still remained the best of friends and confidants. We worked on that friendship and made something that both of us could always count on no matter what. Our bond became stronger. How cool is that?
I've always loved her...How could you not? The other thing is I really, really Liked her. Hanging out with her was like going to Disneyland and getting to be on the best ride ever.
She meant so much to me...She still does!
The thought that I can never talk to her again tears me apart. I've never felt this kind of sadness. But like I told her many years ago "I already Love You Forever, Carrie!"
I will miss you so much my beautiful friend until we meet again in the stars.
Goodnight Baby Mon

Carrie, your bright spirit and joie de vivre were welcomed in any room.  My last memory was watching you dance the night away at Colleen's party.  And you telling me that you loved me.  Sweet and caring as always.  I was sad that I was out of state and could not be at your celebration of life to share in your spirit with your loved ones. Petey and Lupe, you are in my thoughts.  I am here for you if you need a friend or shoulder to cry on.  Much love always!  xoxo

Carrie, you were a gift to us all. One that will never be lost, or forgotten..You will live in our hearts for our lifetime..  RIP my friend.. I will never forget you.. !!!!

Carrie, You were amongst us yesterday as we blessed you with celebrating your life.  You touched so many of our lives in so many ways.  We will miss you so.  I can still see you dancing and know you are now in the arms of God and on your beautiful journey amongst the heavens.  We love you so.

Dear Little One, you were there with us yesterday weren't you. Now you finally see... How you blessed us with so much love,how crazy special you were, and how much you will be missed. I hope we all take that hole in our hearts and replace it with love and caring for others as you did. At Peter's house I heard your laughter in your friends voices and many thought they saw you dancing. So keep on dancing my friend, until we meet again! Always and Forever  I Love You

Dear Carrie, you may not be here on earth, but you will never be forgotten. You had the biggest heart. You were always there to help ANYBODY in need. You will be terribly missed by many!!! Thank you for being such a great friend to my brother!

very few people have left me with only the fondest of memories, You are at the top of that list, a teacher of joy, a beholder of peace, a cool breeze when others wilt and fade...I have learned and benefitted from your existence and example,
honored to have received kindness from such a soul as you, 
I called you "Care-Package" because you healed ,and you always will.until the next dream, I'll miss you.
Dave Osti...

Nothing compares to your warm and loving nature.  You shared your love and your light with all who knew you.  God called you home to share that light and love with all the other angels.  You are loved.  You will be missed.  We'll meet again.

Carrie was so nice and friendly to me when I first started going to the Buccaneer. She made me feel welcome instead of awkward when I'd be in there alone. She was always so lively and full of fun. This comes as a shock. My condolences to Peter and her family and friends.

My dearest Carrie, you were the best BEST FRIEND any one could have ever asked for and you were mine!!! There will not be a day I will not think of you or miss you, I love you my sweet girl may you rest in piece!!!

Carrie, you were like a sister to me.
You are and were one of a kind.
You touched the hearts of many. I will miss you so very much. Peter and Lupe, you are in my thoughts

Carrie, you brought joy and a zest for life to all who had the pleasure of knowing you.  You were indeed a positive force and will be thoroughly missed.  May you rest in peace. Peter, may the love of those around you help you through your difficult time.

                                                               Sincerely, 
                                                               Audrey (Joanne) Kafkaloff 
                                                              (Sierra Madre, CA)

What a smile, what a dance, what a zest for life...I am sad. Thank you for the Joy you expressed...I believe you're living it now elsewhere.

 YOU HAVE SET A EXAMPLE TO ME OF WHAT TRUE SACRIFICE IS BY HELPING ME AND MANY OTHERS WITH YOUR BIG HEART YOU WILL BE 
AND KEPT SAFE WITH THE ANGELS

Dear Carrie, Goodbye my sweet friend. I will think of you often and smile. You will be forever in my heart. May God Bless you and keep you in his arms. Until we meet again. Love, Ann McKenzie
 May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be at your back, May the sunshine warm upon your face, May the rains fall upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand   xoxox
