I knew Carey from the many years he was on the Sugarloaf Board. Him and Sheila were my mentors and taught me everything I know when it comes to Sugarloaf. Carey was a big part in getting our computers back up and running after we had a fire. He was always there for any questions I might have. Shelia I am so sorry for you and your families loss. I will keep you all in my prayers.

I didn't know I had a cousin Carey until about 3 years ago when I spotted him on Facebook. My first question was "Are you related to Walk Tucker" From there, we got to know each other and discuss family ties online.
I was blessed to be able to come visit both he and Shelia last December. I am so thankful for that enjoyable time with them.
Shelia, I send my sincere condolences to you and the rest of the family.

We will be together in Heaven. When we enter in to God's love he never stops loving us. We will enter in to his loving arms and all the hurts we have are washed away to be remembered no more. All of us who are left here have the grief of missing Carey. I love my dear cousin and that will never change. God bless you Shelia and remember the good memories and feel the Holy Spirit wrapping you in his loving arms
