I loved hearing Tray talk about how fun it was to joke and play around with Carolanah while at the house visiting, sometimes for days. He always said it was his second home and everyone was like family. You guys are family in our book. If you need anything let us know. Heres a butterly to take messages to heaven. Always remember and never forget the love. Amber Goodwin,Trayvon Wilson, Damien Wilson , and the rest of the family

We will miss Carolanah so much at FES! Her sweet kind heart and devotion to her friends was beyond measure. I only just met her last year but always enjoyed seeing and chatting with her every day in math and at lunch. The first day of school, when it was so warm outside - I asked her if she was going to wear her stocking cap all day - she said "of course". I'll miss seeing her in her hat :-) Sending prayers and thoughts of healing to you and your family. From Dianna Johnson, Regular Education Para at FES
