She was taken to her final resting place on a horse drawn carrage while the church choir sang Amazing Grace which was Carrie's favorite song. The two men that had done this horrible act were caught with in a few days. While awaiting trial one of the two men commited suicide. The other went to trial and was found guilty of murder and will spend the rest of his life in jail. Which has brought justice to Carrie and her family but does not change the fact that she is not here where she belongs. We will miss you forever! Carrie was a wonderful person that was so filled with love. She was charming and polite, with the brightest of smiles and eyes. She could walk into a room and give off an energy that was like a spring just jumping out of every part of her. Whether she was just sitting and talking to you about singing a song, or showing horses, or just jumping in her jeep to go somewhere, she left no doubt in anyone's mind that she loved life. More importantly, Carrie could laugh at herself. If Carrie were falling over her own feet, she would bounce up laughing at herself and make you laugh with her. She was very popular in school with students and teachers. Everyone just loved her. She had that power to just make you fall in love with her the moment you met her. She is so deeply missed by everyone and has changed everyones life. For her families and friends lives will never be the same. To know her is to love her ***PLEASE visit the memorial page her mother has made for her to keep Carrie's memory alive.
