There was no finer person than cary.always had a kind word
So sorry to hear about Cary's passing,she was a good friend and will be missed greatly. Cary and I became friends while working together at Johnson city medical center for many years. Cary was the kind of person who cared about others and showed her friendship by being the person who was always there when you needed her, she and I would take day trips to go to friends family funerals or to deliver food to others. I will miss her driving pass my house and blowing her horn if I hadn't already left for work. So sorry for her girls who have lost their mother praying for comfort to all.
Jeanie,
My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family for your loss. I will always remember Cary so fondly and appreciate her always being so kind,
thoughtful and ready to go the extra mile. Prayers and blessings for each of you at this sad time.
