I had the priviledge of working with Cary on several projects. He always brought a positive and helpful attitude toward his work and team. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We came to know and love Cary when he lived in Phoneix at Kim and Glens house. We spent a lot of time with him talking and laughing. A whole lot of laughing he was always so upbeat and funny. We are so incredibly saddened by his passing. Our love and prayers are with you Ed and Sandi as well as Cary's wife in this difficult time.
Love to you all

I remember seeing Cary for the first time in Ms. Compton's Kindergaten class. He had the biggest welcoming smile. While I had reservations, I knew everything was going to be okay. I am sure he was welcomed with that same smile and open arms. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you all. May you all find healing in your memories.

i really miss my cuzin i cant live without him he looks like a brother yo me

Dear Ed and Sandy, Buddy and I learned of Cary's passing last night through Ashley. Our hearts are broken for you and his wife, but please know that you are in our prayers. May you be comforted by those that love you. Sending you our love now.

Ed and Sandy,
I just received the news about Cary this morning of his memorial. I had no idea what he and your family have been going through. I wanted to tell you that I love you and that you are in my heart and in my prayers. It has been so many years since I have seen you and Cary, but I can still see his amazing smile and hear his contagious laughter. I know that the LORD is holding you tightly and that He has and will carry you when you are unable to stand. I pray that you feel His peace and His deepest love. I know that heaven became even more beautiful and filled with joyous laughter the moment Cary walked in. I am sure he will still be taking in all of the beauty and glory that is before him when we arrive each in God's time. I know that he will be standing there with that big handsome smile and arms open wide ready to show us around. LORD, help us to remember that it is those who go before us who have passed into LIFE. Please give Natalie a hug from me, a stranger in the natural, but a sister in the LORD. God is good even when it cuts to the deepest part of our soul and He alone can bring beauty from the ashes of this life. He promises that HE will. There is no absence or distance in the spirit, so I am hugging you in the spirit at this moment and I am trusting that He will deliver.

Our thoughts and prayers have been with you during this time and we will continue to pray for you. We pray for God to comfort you and give you strength and courage through this tragic loss. I remember meeting Cary and his Grandmother on the same day in Dallas, years ago. I was so impressed with him, her and the love your family had for each other. Your family is filled with love for each other and love for God and Ive always appreciated how much you all expressed this love. I know you are leaning on God and He is holding your hands and always will. We love you all.

Dear Natalie,
My heart is so sad for you...I am praying that God will just wrap His loving arms around you and comfort you. He is always there for you, just whisper His name, Jesus, and let His love heal your brokenness. Thinking of you today...Your friend, Bobbie

Natlie, So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Natalie, Ed and Sandy, We are so saddened by the loss of Cary . We hope the Lord comforts you during this difficult time,and also in the days ahead may he give you the strength you need to carry on. We are so sorry we could not be there but our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Ed, Sandy & Natalie, it with a sadden heart that I search for words of comfort for you in the loss of Cary. I remember him as a young man riding his bicycle with Becky and Shelly on Vega Street. I will never for get his smiling face and how excited he was that time when Glenn came to stay with you guys. God grants us precious memories of days past and we cherish them in times such as this and we are blessed to have such memories. I have been praying for Cary and you all the past weeks and my prayer was that God would walk with you each day and give Cary the miracle he needed to to overcome his illness. God is in control each day as we walk through life and I know that we must keep our faith in him. There is a song that I sing call "What A Day That Will Be" and it is taken from Revelations 21:4 and tells us that Cary is in no pain where there is no no more tears. Cary is in the arms of Jesus and he is over his suffering and we have the promise that we will see him again. Linda and I are so sorry for your loss and we are praying that God is in your life each day and that his grace is more than sufficient for you in this time of loss. May The Lord always Bless and Keep you. You are in our prayers.
Love
Denny & Linda
