So sorry for the Newberry loss but God gained a wonderful angel it sounds like. I know you will miss her. Prayers to you. May God bless you.
I am so sorry for the loss you are going through and your whole family will be in my prayers. Ms.Carrie was one of the best and one of my favorite teachers. I learned so much about politics and our country through all the Newberry family that taught me at Hiseville and it is still with me today and why voting is so important to me. I will always remember her love for her students and family and my love for her. Again, I am so sorry.
Thinking of your family during this sad time.
Prayers for all of the family.
