I met Kevin in the Navy @ 1st Lt. Division at the Naval Base in Norfolk, VA back in 1983. Kevin introduced me to Kathy at the time Both Kevin & Kathy were nice to me, I never did meet the rest of the family. I feel like that, even though I never met the rest of the family, Mrs Carpenter raised some nice kids to pass on there legacy

I’m so sorry to hear of Connie’s passing. I spoke with her around Easter and she made me smile and laugh with her witty jokes and updates on the “happenings” at Aster Place. She was such a wonderful woman…..It was a blessing to have gotten to know her. God bless her and your family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
With love,

Kelly and family,
Bob and I are so very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. We aways enjoyed talking to her and joking around with her because of “buff”. We will miss her sense of humor.

Take care,
Bob and Colleen Hoffman
