“We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly; In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.” — Author Unknown Mass of Christian Burial for Carrie will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 11, at the Holy Family Catholic Church, Anaconda.
