Kim, Matt and Family,

I do not know you personally but I as well as so many in this community have been following Carter's story and you certainly have a beautiful angel watching over you. He and all of you brought an entire community together.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family and friends, cherish all of those wonderful memories of wonderful and special times you spent with Carter, no one can ever take them away from you and they will help you through the difficult days ahead.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Mary Wassell

My daughter Ella was in Carters class for the last two years. I got to know him in 2nd grade because I helped out in class room. Carter always had a smile on his face and cute stories. I could tell how proud he was of his sisters and how much he loved them. He also was very proud of his parents he shared with my husband and myself about your jobs. I will never forget how proud he was making that heart for his Mom on valentines day. It was a joy looking through his eyes and seeing the love he had for you all. I know he will look down on you all from heaven with a smile while he watches over you. He will be missed but he will always be with you. We are praying for you all through this difficult time. Love the Toom's!
