December 1, 2023 at 6:07 pmI was shocked and deeply saddened to see Cary’s obituary today. She was a dear friend who I have missed so very much since she moved to New York. I would be extremely grateful if either Key or Ashley would call me. You can find my phone number on Cary’s phone. I will miss my beautiful, spunky, sassy, brilliant friend. Sending much love to the family.
