Thoughts are with you all. I was a high school friend of Carrie while she was in Topeka. She was a wonderful person. May she rest in peace.
Carrie was a joy to be around, I really enjoyed our times with family at bbq’s and gatherings just talking. Chris and Carrie were always together and made each other stronger. May your journey be filled with life, love and joy. You will always live in the hearts and minds of your loved ones. May peace be with you.

To Dan and Family,
So sorry to hear about your daughter’s recent passing. My heart goes out to you.
I am so deeply saddened by Carrie’s loss. I was out of town when the news of the services were posted so I missed the visitation and was unable to attend the service. But she is missed and remembered fondly by her support network at Independence Center, especially the members and staff who have known her for years in the Clubhouse. We will continue to support Chris and if there’s anything at all we can do for Carrie’s family, let us know. Her IC family is here for you. I also want to thank you for supporting Independence Center in memory of Carrie.
I think it would mean a lot to her. My hearfelt sympathy, Jennifer
