    May Carey, Jimbo and Barbara Jean all be reunited in heaven by the grace of our most merciful God. The beach will never be the same without you!

    So very sorry to read of Carey'a passing. Every time I saw him he would lite up with that great smile. We seemed to have a special kinship I think based on our mutual love of Edith and Wheatie as well as the many great family memories and my love for Jay and Sandy! He was a kind sole and gentle to his core. Although he walked a different path, he was a good man and will be greatly missed , Cotton Markert
