Janet Williams McCarter Family
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. I (and the entire Williams family) have such wonderful memories of her. Despite her many health challenges, she was always upbeat and so interested in how and what everyone else was doing. She was so warm and so kind. She was a special woman. Will never forget our family trip together to Maui. May those memories live forever and ease the pain of the loss.

We are so sorry to hear of your mum’s passing in May. Both of your parents were so kind to our family and we remember fondly time spent at your house and the farm. I also remember your mum’s good cooking and how delicious salmon is with a well prepared white sauce!
