OOH GOD! HOW OUR CHILDREN LOVED THEIR AUNTY!! "AUNT CARA" THIS AND AUNT CARA THAT! MOMA YOU DIDN'T COOK IT LIKE "AUNT CARA" SHE DID THIS, AND SHE DID THAT! THEY LOVE HER SO MUCH UNTIL ALL HER GREAT NIECES HAS APART OF HER MIDDLE NAME IN THERE'S!! SHE WAS SUCH A LOVABLE PERSON...THE GOD IN HER NEVER HID BEHIND A BUSHAL!! SHE ALWAYS LET HER LIGHT SHINE!! WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ..." OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL"
THERE COULD NOT BE ANYONE ELSE YOU WOULD RATHER CALL A FRIEND...EXCEPT SOMEONE WHO FITS THE DESRIPTION PERFECTLY! ... AND I MUST ADMIT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY BIG SISSY CARA! WHEN YOU CRY, SHE CRIES! IF YOU DIDN'T EAT, SHE WOULDN'T EAT! IF YOU WERE HURTING, SHE WAS HURTING! IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE MONEY, NOW YOU DO BECAUSE SHE GAVE YOU SOME! IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR, DON'T LET THAT WORRY YOU BECAUSE YOU DO NOW! IF YOU NEEDED SOMEONE TO TALK TO, HER EARS WERE OPEN! IF YOU NEEDED A SHOULDER TO CRY ON, SHE WAS LAYING YOUR HEAD THERE! IF YOU HAD NO WHERE TO LAY YOUR HEAD, NOW YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO CALL HOME! IF YOU WERE HUNGRY, HER QUESTION WAS WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO EAT? NEED SHOES TO WEAR? ALL SHE NEEDED TO KNOW IS WHAT SIZE? IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW GOD, NOW YOU ARE INTIMATE WITH HIM! I THANK HER FOR THE FRIENDLY ATTRIBUTES THAT SHE SHOWN TO THOSE SHE LOVED AS FRIENDS, BECAUSE SHE TAUGHT ME TO BE THE SAME EXACT WAY IN MY RELATIONSHIPS WITH MINE!! * IF CARA WAS YOUR FRIEND, YOU SHOULD NEVER HAD TO QUESTION THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS AS REAL AS THEY COME!!*
OTHER THAN THE PROUD BEHAVIOR CARA EXEMPLIFIED AS A MOTHER, SHE WAS THE HAPPIEST WOMAN ON EARTH TO BECOME A GRANDMOTHER! AND BOY WASN'T SHE GREAT AT IT. SHE MADE THINGS LOOK SO EASY AND FUN AT THE SAME TIME. CARA LOVED COOKING, AND WAS GREAT AT IT. I THINK SHE MUST HAVE PULLED UP A CHAIR AND FOLLOWED OUR MOTHER IN THE KITCHEN EVERYTIME SHE WENT IN THERE. CARA HAD 11 GRANDCHILDREN AND LOVED EACH OF THE WITH ALL OF HER HEART!... WITH 1 BEING BORN AFTER SHE WENT HOME TO GLORY SHE BARES HER NAME. HER NAMESAKE LITTLE "CARA DENISE" EVANS AKA CE CE...SHE CLEARLY WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW HOW SPECIAL SHE WAS TO HER ALTHOUGH SHE COULDN'T BE HERE WITH HER SO, SHE PASSED DOWN HER LOOKS TO "BABY CARA" AS I CALL HER!...THOSE OF THEM THAT WERE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW HER WELL, KNEW THAT SHE LOVED THEM TO PIECES AND THE ONES WHO WERE MAYBE TO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND, OR HAD NOT MADE IT HERE YET LIKE " BABY CARA"...I FEEL HONORED WHEN I GET A CHANCE TO TELL THEM ABOUT HER! BIG SISSY REST ON IN PARADISE...YOU ARE MISSED MORE THAN WE CAN EVER EXPRESS AND YOU ARE TRULY LOVED BY US ALL!!❤
CARA WAS THE OLDEST CHILD BORN TO THE PROUD PARENTS FRANCES A. TAYLOR BARNES McGOWAN AND JOHN H. (TOM) BARNES! SHE WAS BORN IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. OUR MOTHER AND FATHER WOULD OFTEN SPEAK HIGHLY OF CARA, WHICH WAS PROOF IN ITSELF THAT THEY WERE PROUD OF THEIR BABY GIRL THAT GOD BLESSED THEM WITH. AS A ONLY CHILD FOR 3 1/2 YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN, I'M SURE CARA ENJOYED THE SPOILEDNESS THAT USUALLY COMES WITH BEING AN ONLY CHILD. I MUST ADMIT, I ENJOYED HAVING HER AS AN OLDER SISTER AND PLAYMATE. SHE WAS AMAZING IN EVERY WAY!
CARA WAS THE BEST BIG SISTER ANYONE COULD EVER DREAM OF HAVING! SHE WAS LOVING AMAZING AND WONDERFUL! SHE WAS NOT ONLY A BIG STUDY... BUT A MOTHER FIGURE AS WELL! MY WORLD CRUSHED DOWN WHEN THE LORD TOOK HER HOME. LEFT NE THINKING WHOSE GOING TO BE THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN MYSELF AND OUR BABY SISSY. IT WAS LIKE CARA WAS THE GLUE THAT KEPT US TOGETHER! WELL BIG SIS YOU LEFT IT FOR US TO FIGURE OUT. HUMMM WE'D RATHER STILL HAVE YOU THOUGH BECAUSE MAYBE WE WOULD BE OFF PHASE ...NOT SURE? BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE OK...I USE TO WONDER WHY YOU ALWAYS ASKED US WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT YOU? YOU ARE TRULY MISSED AND LOVED!! * UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!* LOVE, YOUR SIS. TRA
CARA WAS A WONDERFUL MOTHER! SHE WAS VERY PROUD OF HER THREE LOVELY CHILDREN! AS A MOTHER AND FRIEND TO THEM THE SKY WAS THE LIMIT TO WHAT SHE WOULD DO FOR THEM. SHE BROUGHT HER CHILDREN UP IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD JUST AS HER ( OUR) MOTHER DID FOR US! OLDEST CHILD: (SON) ROGERICK R. BARNES
MIDDLE CHILD:( SON) OLIVER W. EVANS, JR.
YOUNGEST: (DAUGHTER) D'EDRA R. EVANS
