So lucky to have 4 wonderful daughters Rest in Peace My Friend
So sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. It brings back fond memories of visiting your home on Turner Ave. in Salem many, many years ago, as well as the family gatherings at my parents home in Danvers. You guys had all the latest and greatest toys to play with, which made it even more enjoyable. My thoughts and prayers are with the Carr family during this difficult time.
She was a remarkable woman—beautiful, strong, smart, and courageous—whose resilience inspired all who were fortunate enough to know her. Whether managing a family crisis or simply filling the house with the scent of her legendary chocolate chip cookies or spinach pie, she brought warmth and comfort wherever she went (and a platter of food!).
Mom, you are the wind beneath my wings, love you forever.
I’ll never forget my dearest work friend…love you Pat.
MARY: Dearest friendship for over 40 years. She was the best co-worker at Sylvania. Words can’t express how saddened I am that I am unable to attend the services, grieve and comfort you in person due to my health condition. I would like to share my fond memories of my time shared with Pat and her loved ones. I’ll never forget the good times we had going to concerts to see BB KING, and Tina Turner. And, family gatherings. We shared many good moments and laughter.
She was a great lady and dear friend. I will miss her dearly.
MICHELLE: She was the kindness and most thoughtful woman. I’ll never forget the thoughtful gifts she gave me; during my freshman year in college, photography class she gifted me a camera to capture my vision. When I was without a vehicle, she gifted me a car to get back and forth to work. She was a great woman, and I was blessed to have her in my life.
Rest in peace,
Mary R Akers
