About 9 years ago....Cary bought my oldest daughter Paige her first wagon...it was the old fashion looking kind....big red with Radio flyer written on the side....It was such a beautiful thoughtful gift to give, we still have that red wagon to this day!  He also bought Paige her first huge Winnie The Pooh doll, the big fat kind, it was sooo much bigger than her.  That Winnie The Pooh has been passed down to my other kids and it now sits in my youngest child's closet cause he has so much stuff in his room there's no room for Winnie to sit. Oddly enough about a week after Cary passed away my two youngest pulled out Winnie from the closet and brought him into the living room where he stayed with us for days there after.  I still am not sure what urged them to bring out Pooh,  they had never really played with Pooh he was just a stuffed fixture that sat in the room.  Everything happens for a reason!!

I have a story Cary and I shared the biggest laugh over and for many years after still brought it up:  We were in a bar one night having fun and drinking as usual,  I was eating a soft pretzel with mustard you know the kind they sometimes sell in the vending machines at clubs,  were sitting there talking away and I'm chowing down on my pretzel every now and then dipping the pretzel into the big salt pieces that usually come on those pretzles.  This went on for 10 minutes or so until something made me look down at the salt I had been dipping my pretzel in and realized there never had been any salt in the first place what I had been dipping in all that time was the picture of the salt on  front of the package the pretzel had come in....obviously it had looked sooo real I just kept dippin.....I cracked up in disbelief and when I told Cary what I had been doing.... he said in such a Cary fashion  "  I WONDERED HOW LONG IT WAS GONNA TAKE YOU TO NOTICE"  and He completely lost it!!  we never laughed soooo hard!  there were times just months back when we would still bring up that night... Cary and I shared soo many laughs like that... I miss him so much!!  but I can still see him cracking up hysterically!!!  

Love, Kathy   

This is another memory of Cary....this was Thanksgiving day a few years ago... we were all at my friend Barb's house where we always go on Thanksgiving and Cary always joined us.  My friend Barb was finishing up cooking, the guys watching T.V.  We noticed there wasn't enough salt for cooking or for the dinner table so Cary offered to run out and pick up some salt for us so we could finish cooking dinner.  Well....once he got out there was nothing open in her neighbor- hood to buy any salt.  Although when Cary returned to the house low and behold was a salt shaker with salt...evidentially there was a Carl's Jr. fast food restaurant up the street from her house which happen to also be closed but Cary knocked on the door and asked to use their bathroom they let him in he used the bathroom and on his way out he took the salt shaker off one of the tables half used I might add and brought it back to the house....We all kinda wondered how he got us a half used shaker of salt and not a fresh new box from the store but once we heard the story we cracked up and chalked it up to once again Cary making the day and giving us an awesome memory that none of us will ever forget...and for Thanksgivings there after we always asked Cary if he brought the salt?    ONLY CARY COULD GIVE US SUCH AWESOME FUNNY MEMORIES THAT LAST A LIFE TIME!  AND WITH CARY YOU COULD ALWAYS BE SURE THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE AROUND THE CORNER.
