The Family has my deepest and heart filled condolences. I was Ms. Carlin’s. Care giver and I loved her as she was my own. I’m glad I got the opportunity to meet such a jewel. She changed my life.
She loved you SO much, Stephanie! She was a “Buggaboo” at times but she was OUR Buggaboo & we loved her 😱.
You were the sweetest ever to her! I don’t know who’s going to give you boyfriend & daughter advice anymore but you know she’s your guardian Angel now!
My deepest sympathies to the whole family. Maureen was a wonderful friend and like a second mother to me. Especially for letting me stay with her as I moved to Atlanta. She was a special person and I’ll miss her. May she rest in peace.
Ohhhh Charlie! You were so constant in her life and she loved you to pieces! Thank you for visiting her these last 2 years and most of all, thank you for praying over her with me & letting her know it was “OK” to go on to heaven to be with her parents & my dad.
