Carrie Blagburn was my best friend's mom, but she treated everyone like they was her very own child.Ms Carrie and Leo opened there home to everyone all the time. Ms Carrie had soo many traits that you could admire. She was a great cook, she could sew, was a hairdresser, could dance her butt off, went to church every Sunday,and she did not allow anyone to curse or raise their voice in her house.I will never forget as a child she did my hair, and the two things she would always say to me was" Im not doing your hair anymore because your so sensitive, and Im not doing it on Sunday anymore" but she always did it every Sunday anyways. She was the all american mom in my book. She was the type of person that left a lasting impression in your heart.We all miss her & Leo very much, and I look forward to seeing them again one day.
