    Oh, how sad this makes me! I was Cary's Spanish teacher and guidance counselor at Walsingham during her jr and sr year, and she was one of my favorites in a 36 year career. I believe i laughed at everything she said! She was so sweet, smart, positive, upbeat, the kind of student teachers only dream about. I loved her and still do. My deepest condolences to her family at her loss..

    Tyler, I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard that Cary had passed away, and I was shocked. I didn't know she had been sick. I have such good memories of her. She taught my younger sons at Greenwood, and we were in PTA together. When she came to work at JYF I was so happy. She was such a wonderful teacher. I knew she would be an exceptional MPA. She was kind, and friendly, and funny. She will be greatly missed.
