Miss Carrie, I am so sad to see you go but I know you are in pain no longer and in a much better place. I am a little jealous because God is getting to enjoy all the cookies, pies ,bread and beans and cornbread I shared with you , Bert and Pat, for so many years. I will miss your friendship the most but your cooking is a close , a very close, second. I will be forever grateful for your encouragement of my personal Christian walk. Bible study was much easier for me to grasp while I had a mouth full of your chocolate chip cookies. I know I am not alone sharing that testimony ! I will be seeing Ted and Lulu in about 2 weeks and will share the sad news with them. I don't know who enjoyed it more, you or those 2, when you reached over the fence and Ted and LuLu jumped up to get their daily "pets on the head". I am guessing Ted because he always came back for seconds and thirds. By now, I am sure you have met "Willie" and "Helen", 2 more Labradors that will add to your happiness the same way they did for me for so many years…but now so long ago. Words can't begin to express the joy I feel knowing you are giving them "pets on the head" , and sharing stories about me and you and Hunter , Ted and LuLu. I know there is lots of "tail wagging" in Heaven today. You taught me that sadness is really just too little happiness , like darkness is just too little light. So even now in my sadness, while writing this tribute, I am remembering our happy times ; you, me Ted and Lulu. You were right Miss Carrie, the happiness is indeed beginning to replace the sadness , just like you said it would. Even though you are gone in the flesh your memory and spirit is helping me and so many others through this difficult time. Thank you Miss Carrie for being such a wonderful ,loving,wise and caring person. Thank you for blessing my life and showing me what "Grace" truly is.Love , Khris Keller
