    Charles and Jennifer, I was so saddened to hear about your Mom. She was a wonderful neighbor when we lived in Heritage Landing. I saw her last year at Walmart and at that time she was preparing for Jennifer's wedding. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time for you and your family.

    Cary was one of my longest friends since moving to Williamsburg. I will never forget our days teaching together at Greenwood Preschool. I will really miss her and I can't believe that she is gone. She loved her children, Jennifer and Charles, and all of her grandchildren so very much.

    Cary was a life long friend...having been good friends since 7th grade at Walsingham. Her presence will be dearly missed, but our memories of her will be treasured always. She was so proud of both her children and I pray for comfort and peace for Jennifer, Charles, Suzie, Laurie and brothers Tyler and Charles.
