My condolences to Gail and the Carpenter family. I will always cherish the times we had together. Cinda was my sports fan partner (even though I was a Mets fan). She was the life of the party, always generous and welcoming. Her laugh and sense of humor was contagious. You will be missed my friend, until we meet again ..

To Mrs. Stephanie C. Carpenter, I'm so sorry for your loss of you great husband Ruly Carpenter and your daughter. I power washed your house way back in 1993. I remember I saw you at a red light. Ruly and your daughter in peace and in heaven now. I was in shock what happened. Mrs Carpenter you are a fantastic wife to Ruly and great mother go your kids. Again I am so sorry for both Ruly and Lucinda. I remember Mark Lally. I remember Ruly had a sense of humor he's a very social person. To family, Ruly and daughter are happier than ever in heaven now. Ruly would make people laughter. He help me power wash the fire place on that house by his tractor. From Mark E. Toner
