Troy and Karen Martin on 25 Jun 2010 at 2:52 am #
I never knew Carter and heard the news today at work (I am Martin’s Dental Hygienist, at Dr. Linssen’s office). I was so touched and saddened by hearing about little Carter. I have a little boy the same age so it really hit close to home. I can’t stop thinking about your family and want you to know how moved our family was and that we will be thinking of you and keeping you in prayer. We all shed some tears today. God Bless you and your family.
The Oliver Family on 25 Jun 2010 at 2:57 am #
We know of your work to serve the Lord by providing for the poor. You are a wonderful family and we do not understand why this has happened.
We have imagined such a tragedy for our 7 year old son Kevin, who suffers from autism. He has darted toward oncoming vehicles on a number of occasions.
The passing of Carter really puts our situation in perspective. We are more thankful than ever for Kevin’s life.
It is hard to quote Romans 8:28 when tragedy hits home. The loss of an innocent child is the greatest trial one could ever experience. The Lord has great plans for you.
The Culls on 25 Jun 2010 at 3:44 am #
Hey Carter, Madison will always miss her favorite cousin. We’ll miss your personality and cute cute cute face.

Alisha, Brandon and Mason – You are in so many family’s hearts, prayers and thoughts right now. Even people you don’t know. Carter was such a beautiful little boy and so full of life. He was so lucky to have so many people love him as much as you have. I’m so glad you have each other during this difficult time. Now you have God & Carter watching over you every moment of every day. My heart is with you.
PS – I will forever order the Sea Steak at Mikuni in his honor.

The Carr Family on 25 Jun 2010 at 7:20 am #
You don’t have to know a child or family to know how great of a loss this is. A child is innocence in it’s purest form. We are shown every day how precious life really is and how it can be taken away in a blink of and eye. All I can say is live life to the fullest and make sure your kids, family and friends know you love them, and from what I hear he knew that everyone in his life loved him. I am so sure he was a great kid, and was taken before his time. Live for Carter and make every day count. Life is too precious to take for granted. Love each other, hold each others hands and hearts through this very hard time. They say there is strength in numbers and from the loss I have endured in my life I know how true it is. Love, strength and support are the key to make it through. Our love, strength and support are with you as well as many others during this tragic time.
The Falca Family on 25 Jun 2010 at 9:21 am #
We are so saddened to hear of your loss and will keep you in our every thought and prayer. We are here for you and send our love.

To Carter’s family,
While visiting with our grandson, Tyson Taylor, from June 8 to June 22, we saw Carter on several occasions at the end of the school day. We realize there are no adequate words to express the sorrow. However, may you find some comfort in knowing that as your tears flow we are all crying along side you.
May God in His infinite wisdom guide you moment by moment.
Marilyn & Neil Dellandrea from Canada

We can’t even begin to put into words how saddened we are to have heard this news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time and know that Carter is in the arms of Angels.
Jim Hoffman on 25 Jun 2010 at 4:40 pm #
I was one of Carter’s sunday school teachers. Last winter I had a really weird affliction that tore up my feet and lower legs, yucky.
During our prayer circle kids asked about my feet, I explained and asked if anyone would be willing to come forward, lay hands on and pray for me.
Carter volunteered first. He was, IS, always will be, a rascal with a good and gentle heart.
Brandon, Alisha, Emmy (I met you at PakMail once), my heart is with you.
The Brink Family on 25 Jun 2010 at 4:41 pm #

I am praying for you both.
Something to help you get through this difficult time..

When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

I know its hard loosing a family member because i lost one too but I cant imagine loosing a sibling or my son/daughter. I know its going to be hard for the next couple of years but we all know that Carter is defenetly going to a great place and he is waching over the ones he most loves, his family. My family and I are comming to the mammorial for Carter and he is a great kid so there is no way anyone can forget him.
Your friend,

Though my husband and I never met you, you have touched us Carter. We live in the apartments, and were there that day minutes after. I have never cried so much, but to know you are at peace and to know you know the answers of “why” brings me to say it will be okay. My only thoughts and prayers go out to Carter’s family. I think about it a lot. I have a 5 year old son with blue eyes and blonde hair, and can only imagine. I pray that god will ease the family’s pain, all though it will not take away missing his presents. I can tell by your pictures you are such a happy boy, and hear that you were very loving just like your family. God Bless you and your family…. always and forever in my thoughts.
Josh & Alex on 25 Jun 2010 at 9:43 pm #
Our deepest condolences for the family of Carter. I cannot imagine the pain and sorry you are experiencing. Be strong during this time and keep the love for Carter alive through memories of him and kindness towards each other. We are here if you need anything (Ty) or anyone else.
Kristin on 25 Jun 2010 at 10:04 pm #
I only knew Carter and Brandon through working at Dr. Bertschs’ office. Carter was a sweet and shy child, but just looking at him you could tell what a big heart he had. No one can imagine the pain of losing your child, all my prayers are with your family Brandon. May God keep you in his loving arms.
Amy Johnson on 25 Jun 2010 at 10:05 pm #

Parker is devastated by the loss of Carter and is extremely sad that he has lost a friend. Parker enjoyed playing with Carter during class and at recess.

Mecier Family,
Our hearts are beyond broken at the loss of Carter. He was a dear friend to my boys. We remember Carter’s sweet voice & darling smile. Jacob has such fond memories of his buddy Carter. Spending every recess together, celebrating Carter’s birthday at Beni-Hana’s, playing in the back of his dad’s truck and getting into mischief together. Jacob & Joshua adored Carter and will miss him tremendously. I don’t know that is has truly sunk in for any of us. We are praying for you all and mourning with you. Carter was an angel on Earth and now is an angel in Heaven.
With much love & deepest sympathy…the Nelson family

Dear Brandon and Alisha,
As new friends of Diane and Jim, we were sharing grandparent stories with them just over a week ago at Steve and Janice’s.

Emmy, You didn’t know this but I had an arranged marriage set up for Sophia and Carter once they were old enough!
Sophie was sharing with me that Carter was THE funnest and funniest boy in class. She will miss him so much.
Our hearts are with all of you.
The Longs on 26 Jun 2010 at 7:51 am #

My heart is broken for you and your family. Surround yourself by these sweet people that love you…they will help carry you through this pain. I did not know any of you..(only Brandon as kids)but will keep your family close to my heart. I know the pain of losing a sibling and a spouse…but not a child..I cant even pretend to know your pain.
Thinking and praying for you….

I’ve been trying to find the words to write not knowing what to say these are ramblings from my heart. words seem so useless to describe the sadness and heartache of how we are feeling for you and your family. The emptiness and helplessness so vast. Nothing seems to help the pain. Praying through tears for your loss, family and friends seem some comfort. You know how important family is to me, know that my entire family feels your loss, know you are in our prayers and thoughts.
Bijan, Donna, Jeremy, Sara. My sister, Terri, and parents wanted you to know they are also with you in prayer.
Colvin Family on 26 Jun 2010 at 5:05 pm #

I have been waiting for the right words to come- but nothing seems right. Emmy, Martin, Mason, Darren, Sam, Brandon and Alisha- I know how much you all loved him and miss him. We are all so sorry for your loss.
The Gabbard family on 26 Jun 2010 at 6:54 pm #
Such a sad day for a wonderful family.Carter is definatley in our prayers..He is in good hands (:
Jennifer on 26 Jun 2010 at 7:10 pm #
Your tragety serves as a reminder to us all of the important things in life. Family, the joy of a child’s laughter, and connectivity. I wish Carter and your family peace and eternal connection.
Happiness comes from recognizing that the greatest loss in life is actually what we allow to die within us while we live – not death itself.
Sarah & Ben Ponsano on 26 Jun 2010 at 7:48 pm #
Our hearts are with you…truly! Praying for Jesus’ embrace to comfort and cuddle you all and that His healing pour down upon you like a beautiful waterfall. Thank you for blessing us with your extending arms of Jesus love…for reaching out at White Rock….for including us and loving/accepting us where we were at. Your love and Carter’s delight and joy have left God’s fingerprints upon our hearts. We love you Brandon and Alisha….and family. xo
The Anderson Family on 26 Jun 2010 at 8:32 pm #
We will always remember Carter as a bright energetic little guy but right now we are just so very sad for your loss. We pray for all of the family members who will miss him so deeply.
The Sullivan Family on 26 Jun 2010 at 9:10 pm #
We have a loss of words and are still in shock and probably will be for a long time. We want you to know your family is loved, and we will miss your son.
The Owens Family on 26 Jun 2010 at 9:53 pm #
We love you guys and are heartbroken over the loss of Carter! We met him as a baby in the Sunhills Church nursery and his big eyes immediately made me fall in love! Our hearts and prayers are with all of you right now, and they always will be – Carter touched many lives and I know he will continue to do so! Words fail me, but I want you to know we are praying for your strength and look forward to giving Carter a huge hug when we meet him again in Heaven!

The Nyquist Family on 26 Jun 2010 at 10:07 pm #
Brandon, Alisha and Emmy, You once shared your precious boy with me for a beautiful year. It was an honor to be apart of his life. Carter had a knack for taking in all the details of life, he had spunk and a willingness to love all of his classmates. My heart is broken for you all. I am constantly praying for each of you. We love you.

Muy Queridos Brandon y Alisha;
My heart aches for you. I believe that there is no bigger trial than to lose a child. I am at a lost for understanding how this could happen and to you who give so much to so many. I know you have great faith and hope that will give you the strength to carry on.
Your Nicaraguan mission is an incredible act of love. May you be enveloped in love during this your difficult time.
Kathy Ruby on 26 Jun 2010 at 11:42 pm #

Praying your family finds comfort and rest in the One who can give it. I can only imagine what a painful time this is for your family. Even though we never met, we grieve with you for the loss of your son. May you find comfort in knowing you will one day see him again. In His Grip…

Emmy, Martin, Brandon, Alisha,
I am so thankful that I had the oppertuntiy to know Carter and your family. Words cannot express how sad I am for the loss of Carter. I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
The Tangen Family on 27 Jun 2010 at 4:10 am #
We are thankful for meeting your son and are very grateful for his heart and influence on so many. May our God bring you comfort during this time.
Dave & Amy Huusko on 27 Jun 2010 at 4:46 am #
We have yet to invent a word fully able to capture the pain of this moment. Parents are not supposed to bury their children. It’s all out of order and wrong. May the whole hearts of those around you support you when yours are broken. “We grieve (fully), but not like those who have no hope.”
1st Thess. 4:13
Love, DnA

Emmy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just can’t imagine what you are going through. Please know that you and the rest of your family are in my prayers to help you through this difficult time.
Brian & Susie Beard on 27 Jun 2010 at 7:23 am #
I was in Monterey when I heard this heart breaking news. As a mother and grandmother of many, the loss has overshadowed my thoughts. I have no way of knowing the depth of this to Emmy, Martin, Brandon, Alisha and their extended and loving family. Knowing little Carter is with his Father, as his family knows deeply, brings the hope of solace and peace. He promises us this. Because of who Carter’s family is and their faith, there will be some goodness out of Carter’s tragic loss. My family grieves along with many.
Sciutto Family on 27 Jun 2010 at 7:34 am #
Emmy and Family~I got to know Carter working in the first grade class room every Monday morning; what a sweet, angel of a boy. God bless you and your family now and always!
Randy & Eileen Flatgard on 27 Jun 2010 at 8:59 am #
We are so so sorry for your tragic loss and we will be keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. God will keep Carter in his arms, safe and angelic until you meet up again. God Bless you and your family for sharing your beautiful little boy with so many.
The Niederhouse Family on 27 Jun 2010 at 1:39 pm #
What a precious life and such a loss for this wonderful family. Rest in the Lord…I know this is one of the worst things you will ever go through…but you will “go” through it and you will not be alone. God bless all of you. You will be in our prayers.

The Glidewell Family on 27 Jun 2010 at 2:15 pm #
Although we cannot begin to understand the pain that your family is going through we feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know Carter during his 1st grade year. What a sweet and smart child! Samuel continues to attempt to understand the loss of a great friend and will never forget his fun times playing chase, monkey bars, and exchanging bracelets with Carter. We believe God has great things planned for that special boy. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family!
Melissa Menard on 27 Jun 2010 at 3:18 pm #

Dear Emmy and family~ My heart is broken for you all. I hope and pray that you are given divine strength to carry you through this difficult time. I love all the stories you’ve shared with me about Carter. Your love for him always shined through when you spoke of him.
Patricia Osborne on 27 Jun 2010 at 6:11 pm #
Hello Emmy and Mason,
It’s sad for me to hear that Carter has passed away. It is very hard for me to understand that Carter is gone. We had a lot of fun together when we played. I especially enjoyed collecting bee bee’s with him. We spent time talking and laughing together. He was one of my Best Friends and I will never forget him. I miss you Carter, but I know that I will see you again someday in Heaven. I want to name a star after you, so when I look into the sky I can think of you!
Love,
Joey Pacheco age7

Susan Neal, Ryan Kazmouz and family on 27 Jun 2010 at 7:42 pm #
Dear Emmy and Martin, Brandon and Alisha, Mason, Daren, and Sammy,
Carter is an angel who touched countless lives. My son, Ryan, and Carter experienced first grade together. Carter was #14 in class and Ryan #15, so they were often together. Ryan is fortunate to have known (in his words) such an “awesome kid”. I don’t think he fully comprehends the meaning of death, but this morning he came to me and said, “I had a dream about Carter…he was playing outside, running around, and having so much fun.” We will remember Carter in our hearts forever. I hope you find comfort in your loving memories, strength in family and friends, and peace in prayer.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Susan Neal, Ryan Kazmouz and family
Garian (Grewe) Fleming on 27 Jun 2010 at 9:08 pm #
Emmy,
From one mother to another my heart goes out to you. I’m praying for you to have strength and hope during this time. I’m so glad you have your faith and your family to support you. I can’t imagine what you must be going through, my prayers are with you.
The Daly Family on 27 Jun 2010 at 11:37 pm #
Alisha, we have only met a few times at work, and when I heard about this, I don’t think I can possibly describe the sorrow I felt for you and your family. I think about Carter and your family everyday with the hope and prayer that you all can heal. Carter sounds like he would have wanted that for you all.
Please know my prayers are with you all daily and I only wish there was a short path to peace for all of you. He is with God now, and no pain or sorrow will touch him.
Serena, Brian, Travis and Austin
The Foos Family on 27 Jun 2010 at 11:59 pm #

We were so saddened to hear of the loss of Carter. Curtis was in kindergarden class with him and a friend during recess and after school. He will be missed. I will miss seeing him at school and in the cafeteria with his beautiful smile and big eyes.

With much sympathy,

I didn’t know Carter, but for years, I’ve known and loved his Grandma and Grandpa Thome, and Great Grandma and Grandpa Davis. They love him dearly. I know words aren’t sufficient to ease the pain of your loss. God will!
Your family remains in my prayers. May God bless and comfort you all.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to you during this times. It is so hard to digest such a terrible loss. Our prayers are with you daily. Your family has in been in our thoughts. Makenna wanted to express her saddness and love for Carter. She loved having him in her kindergarten class.
We pray for you to receive much love and strength.
Hugs – Stacey and Kevin Koschik

I never had the privilege of knowing Carter until the beautiful service yesterday. I know Brandon through my work as community liaison with Vision Coalition. As a Mom, I cannot imagine anything worse than losing a child. My heart goes out to all of you. Brandon, until yesterday’s service, I did not know how you could possibly find the strength to continue being the strong steward of faith that you are. I’ll see you at WRV some Tuesday whenever you feel ready to return. Until then, I know your fellow stewards as well as some of our staff & volunteers will be watching over the children for the parents taking the IY class. (Perhaps a certain little angel will also be helping out.)
Kace and Griffiths Family on 28 Jun 2010 at 8:17 pm #
To the Meciers and Family. We are so sorry for your loss and keep you all in our prayers. He was such a beautiful blue eyed boy. Michaella will miss his great playfullness and humour the most.
The Buckmaster Family on 29 Jun 2010 at 12:51 am #
Not an hour goes by when we do not think about your entire family during this challenging time. We were on vacation when we heard the news and had to tell Lauren about the loss of her kindergarten friend. That night, as we were walking back from dinner, she looked up in the sky and pointed the the brightest star I have ever seen. She said” Look Mommy. I bet that star is Carter. It is the brightest because he is Heaven’s newest angel.” Carter was, and always will be, an angel to all who new him.
Roque Family on 29 Jun 2010 at 3:51 am #
I remember seeing Carter during Lacrosse practice of his brother Mason & my son Christian and saw how much he loves to smile and play. And now that he is gone, we are very sad. Please know that we will always be thinking of you, and your family are in our prayers. Mason if you need a friend to talk to Christian is here for you.
Take care and God bless your family.

When I told my family what happened last week, my kids remembered meeting Carter at the ‘bring your kids to work day’ just a few months ago. They were very saddened at the news, and so we all stopped in the middle of dinner to pray for you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are continuously with you.

St. Dennis family on 30 Jun 2010 at 6:24 pm #
I was told after attending Carters Memorial Service that a family (I will not name) – their children expressed they wanted to know Jesus like Carter knows Jesus. Their mother after many years of going the opposite direction expressed she will begin to take her children to church. She was touched there also.

For those of us that did not have the opportunity to have formed a bonding relationship with Carter, thank you for letting us know him through his memorial.
I will lift all of you up in prayer and will rejoice in the beautiful memory of Carter that I will hold in my heart forever.
He was truly a gift from God and a blessing to many. I am so very sorry that you will not have him here with you day to day, but I know he is watching over all of us from Heaven and is lov’n those very special, glorious hugs that he is getting as he sits in Jesus lap.

Brandon,
I have often thought of you over the years and the time we traded cars, the camping trips with Darrel and Kristen, and how I used to run into your dad at In Cahoots. I was at my dad’s house in Folsom today and saw the local paper. I cannot imagine the pain you and your family is in right now. Wishing you peace and comfort that only God can provide as you try to live without your precious son. I will send Kristen this link to this website so she can get in touch with you.
Hugs,
Shawna

Dear Mecier Family,
We are a fellow family in EDH; our older daughter turns seven this month. Please know that Carter’s story has touched us deeply. His photos and comments on this page show a beautiful and vibrant boy; we are shaken at his passing. Know that Carter and you remain in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers. May God hold Carter, and may Carter watch over you. God Bless, the Olsons

People usually don’t know a good thing until it’s gone
That was something about you that was wrong
Everyone remember your little face
The way you smiled put everyone in a happy place
You were remember easier than a song
I’ll never understand why you’re already gone
I don’t know how you could be happier in heaven
That’s not where you’re supposed to go when you’re only seven
A boy like you had so much life
You were supposed to get married and have a beautiful wife
You were supposed to go to college and be Mason’s best man
Make everyone smile just like I know you can
Memories are all that’s left now
So many I’ll never forget, no way no how
You were a grandson, a brother, a son
Always did all there was to be done
You tried to fight with your brothers although you never won
Fighting wasn’t about winning but about having fun
They were too big and strong for you to compete
The little guy was easiest to defeat
Daren was always there when you were in danger
Always there to help, never acting like a stranger
I’ll never forget the time I met you
You were so shy whenever meeting someone new
The opposite of Mason who just came up and said hello
He was able to chit chat with people he didn’t know
You stayed shy came up and said hello
He was able to chit chat with people he didn’t know
Even after knowing us for years
Seeing us still brought you fear
You always hid behind Emmy’s legs
She’d comfort you while you would beg
Reminding you that we knew and loved you
Seeing you was something we loved to do
The last time you visited was on my birthday
You didn’t even have a word to say
Walked in, found a seat, and started to read
So uncommon I thought I might pee
Laying down and reading a Bible
Right that second he became my idol
Daren told me it was something he was doing recently
Never knew a little boy knew how to surprise me
Actions like that were hard to foresee
He was always so good
Be an angel was something he could
Jesse Furtado on 15 Jul 2010 at 5:25 pm #
Dear Carter,
You are my favorite friend I ever had. I really did like you. I think you were really nice. You were a nice kid, to everybody, including me. Brandon, Alisha, Emmy, Mason, Sammy, Martian, and Darin really miss you. Because you’re gone Brandon and Alisha decided I could take your place in soccer. Hope you have a great time in heaven. I love you, Carter!
Jessica Furtado on 15 Jul 2010 at 5:52 pm #
Dear Carter,
You were a great friend to everybody. You never really made anyone feel bad. Everyone in you’re family, the apartments, kids in Silva Valley, you’re soccer team, and mostly everyone miss’s you! You’re whole first grade class painted on the two rocks for you and at the apartments we gave you a bunck of gifts. We also sent you balloons with letters on them, I hope you read mine! I Really miss you, have a fun time in heaven, and I love Carter!

Cartie …you would have loved the day today at your school with all your friends. Jesus made more ice cream so we could feed the entire school…we only brought enough for your class!..Then tonight at soccer everyone was so blessed to read your tributes in the scrapbooks and see the pictures. I know you are a special little treasure in heaven and that we will all be together with Jesus….

Emmy and Brandon,
I’m so sorry to hear about Carter. I just heard and I’m so devastated to hear this. He was the greatest little guy. I remember working and seeing Carter wiu popcicle stains on his face. He always wanted to climb up and play with my computer or play with all of he dummy cell phones that were around. I will miss him so much. May God take him by the hand and may God bless the 2 of you!!

Carter’s poem
He had the biggest heart,
He was the funniest kid around,
He had no problem making friends,
He was hard to ignore,
He was so special that he had to leave,
He was called to his destiny,
He fufilled it and now he waits,
He watches down on us,
He protects us until we come to see him,
He smiles when were happy,
He cries when were sad,
He was the best person alive,
He is very missed,
He lives in our hearts our souls,
He prays that we will make it to heaven safely,
He walks with us in our dreams,
He sings with us hoping we feel his presence,
He sits up there in the domain of the lord,
He sits and watches and waits, he cries,
He wishes he had more time,
He wishes he didnt have to leave us behind,
He acceppts that god needed him for something only he could accomplish.
Carter you are our angel, you are our souls. we love you so much that reaching you is our goal. when we see your face in the sky. we look up and smile waving hi. dont forget that we are your family. we will always love and adore you even if your not with us any more. dont give up dont shed tears. we will see you again do you hear.
I love you so much i cant wiat to see you again i will never forget you no matter what happens you will always be my little brother (theoretically)
and im not your step siblings or your real siblings.
im your theoretical sister. love you little one

Love you little Cartie Wartie. Today I thought that because we all know Jesus we are holding each others’ hands and also holding yours in heaven. Take away your mommy’s pain (and your daddy, stepparents Alisha & Martin, bros Mason, Daren and sis Sammy and all your cousins/friends who loved you so much. Bless all the grandparents who love you and today reminds us of the Carter-shaped hole in our hearts but you give us hope for our eternity little buddy….

Dear Carter,
I saw a bundle of balloons at your memorial site here at white rock village. I am happy it’s there. It’s a reminder of how much a part you were along with your father giving time to White Rock.
So sad to see a young one like you go. It hurt my heart to know the pain your family was going though. I am thankful that they have Jesus and we all know and have more than enough faith- you are an angel and God’s little helper up there.
I pray that people continue to slow down here at white rock village. I live here so I sometimes see carelessness and one going over the 5 MPH (even though much updates have been done to make this speed limit noticed). I am learning not to get angry (it’s taken sometime) but instead, pray for them. Pray that one day they will think of little carter and all the other little’ kids that play out in the streets.. .to know it takes one second for there to be another tragedy. On the other hand, a lot has changed for the better here. I feel parents are becoming more involved with their children here. Making sure they are safe and being more attentive.
I wish you a happy birthday and pray for your parents that they get through this day with a smile.
Love
Heather

Carter. I miss you so much! It has almost been a year and here we are in Hawaii remembering you and how much we love you and how badly we miss you. We will be spreading a little bit of your ashes in the ocean in Hawaii on the one year anniversary of your accident. We know how much you loved Hawaii. I’m sure heaven is much better than anything here on earth and I can’t wait to be with you there, and for you to show me around in heaven.
Can’t wait, and as much as it will seem like seconds for you its painfully too long for me.
love
mom

Hey CARTER! I’ve been thinking about you alot lately. I miss you SO much! I miss the times when you, me and (my brother) Mason would play football together. You and Me against Mason! I also miss when me and Stevie were playing with you on your trampoline and you were acting like a ~WILD BULL~ ~MAKING PIG NOISES~ That was FUNNY. I thought that was really cool how me, my 2 sisters and my brother got to stay at your house for about a week. (B and A’s house) It was fun when you, me and (my brother) Mason Were making weird noises just to annoy my sisters. Yeah it WAS pretty fun watching them get mad.
It was really fun playing that tickle monster game with Alisha too. I love that game! I just hope YOU have the BEST HALLOWEEN EVER CARTER. We will all be thinking about just like we do everyday! 
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I LOVE YOU A LOT CARTER. I f I could choose to have an ADDITIONAL BROTHER it would be you. But you're already like a brother to me any way. 
I LOVE YOU CARTER!
