Sherri, Steve , I still remember it like it was yesterday, the day we got the call that Cara was born. We were so happy and she was a beautiful red headed baby and she grew into a beautiful woman. It doesn’t seem right that she should go home before us, but God don’t make mistakes, and He took her on home and she impacted so many people on this earth for the better , my heart hurts for ya’ll and Chris and the boys and Bucky and all who loved her I love you
