I am saddened to hear about the loss of Carrie. She was always full of fun when I would see her. Crystal it was over a month ago when I asked how she was doing and with a smile you replied and said she was good. Which I was very glad to hear. I know she's resting in peace. May God continue to strengthen the Atkinson/Hargett during your time of bereavement. Mrs Yolanda Smith
