Missing You, Sweet Girl




Carrie Beth Moore


Our family has lost another cousin.  Caroline Elizabeth Moore, 14, of West Des Moines, Iowa, passed away on Monday, June 20, 2022 at her home.  Carrie Beth was the beloved daughter of Jan Moore, my second cousin, and her husband Andy.  Her grandmother, Frances Atwood Marvin of Estes Park, Colorado, is my first cousin.


Carrie Beth was fun-loving, life-loving, and “a beautiful angel who touched many lives while here” as it was so well expressed by a friend of the family.  Another wrote, “When you lose a child, it is a loss that you feel for a lifetime.  Truly it is our loss, but it is God’s gain.”


Iowa is a long way from North Central Texas, so we don’t spend as much time with Jan and her family as we would like, but we keep in touch.  I knew Carrie Beth and her brothers well through conversations with her mother, grandmother and grandfather, and through pictures and activities shared on Facebook.


Carrie Beth will be missed by her family and her many friends, but she is with God and I’m sure her smile is lighting up Heaven.
