Sometimes in life before we pass on, we forget to show our gratitude to those whom love us. In spite of our imperfections and shortcomings. I have walked this earth for 50 years and have many I want to pay tribute to. My wonderful parents, Pastor Morris & Bishop J.Carr, my siblings, Johny C. and Carla plus a host of relatives. I want to thank my childhood best friend Dr.Sherron, my first love T.Flowers, best male friends Bobby Howard, Dexter, BigD, and Tick I will never forget you.

My kids father whom we were boyfriend-girlfriends in school. I went to Europe my sophomore year in college and I ran into him again and we married when we return to the US, the following year. E.Edibiri, L.McMillian, Paul H, Pastor M. McWhorter, Pastor Christine, GloriaJ, Bishop Williams, Apostle & Prophetess Perkins, Bishop & Sis.Wilson, Bro.Jesse, A.Coleman, JohnM. thank you for always sharing an encouraging word. I almost forgot my girlscout leader and owner of the most famous bookstore in the country MG Shipley. I'm reminded of the fabuleous ladies Karla, MH Moody, E.Moore, CynthiaK, J.Fogg, Pam and RJ Mixon. Women of class that always keep you grounded.
