Hi Jaime. I was sorry to read that your Dad has passed. You were Carly’s best friend while growing up. You two were so cute! She’s an RN, married to an eye surgeon with two daughters, Kaylin and Reagan. They live in Texas. I would love to hear from you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Jody.
