18 Mar 2002 In memory of my brother Jo L Carpenter 926 West Hill Rd, Elmira, Ny 14903 jomama1106@hotmail.com

09 Apr 2005 I have always been touched by you. Maybe it is because I know we were alike? Maybe it is because my mother adored you? Whatever the reason, I am happy to say that I would have been your niece. I will never forget the way that I felt the day in Elkand when that man approached Mimi and told her that he named his son after you. What an honor!! Everyone LOVED you! You have many many reasons to look down and be proud!! God bless always. From his niece, Kristen Smetanka E-Mail will be forwarded by the Webmaster@VirtualWall.org
