Cara Lee was beautiful inside and out. I always told her that she reminded me of Sophia Loren. My mom, aunt, and I spent many hours shopping in her wonderful clothing store. She offered such wonderful and stylish fashions. Good memories. Gayla, I am so sorry for your loss.

I have very fond memories of shopping with my Mom at Cara Lee’s store for many years. My Mom loved going there and I always thought everything in her store was so beautiful. My sympathy to her family and friends.
