This blog post is beautifully written. I cried happy tears throughout. Carly's mom is a dear friend and has helped so many people through her work with Helping Parents Heal since Carly's passing. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree; Carly and her mom share the same giving, luminous personality that brightens everything and everyone around them. Thank you for sharing this for Carly's 10-year Angel Date. I know that it will help many parents and families heal.

Thank you for writing this, Chris. My fiancé is a good friend of Carly’s from her days at BC and I have heard so much about her despite having not met her before she passed. Through all the pictures, and the stories such as yours, I feel like I have spent plenty of time with her. A wonderful, caring, beautiful person that everyone wants to meet. Someone who just makes life better for everyone in close proximity. While I wish I could have met her in person, I feel extremely lucky that friends like you let me meet her in spirit. Thank you again.
