I worked with Carrie for a few years at Medieval Times. While we were not close, we were always friendly. I am deeply saddened by her sudden passing. She was always so full of life and it comes across in every picture of her. I will continue to prayer for those who loved her and especially for Jason.

To Carrie's family- You don't know me...my name is Leena. I used to work at Medieval Times with Carrie during the same years as Dani Lennon, Bill Hainsworth and Leland Burbank. I remember Carrie quite fondly. I was young and new to the castle and she had a smile and energy that put my nerves at ease every time I saw her. She was kind and friendly and I always looked forward to seeing her. Dani has been my best friend since those Medieval days and she just told me of this awful tragedy. I'm at a loss for words. We both are. I lost touch with Carrie over the years, but I have tears streaming down my face after hearing that the world has lost such a sweet soul. I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling and I wish I could take it away from you. My sincerest condolences on the loss of such a beautiful young woman. May you find peace and comfort during this chapter of your lives. And may her memory live on with the same sparkle she brought to work with her, all those years ago.
My sincere sympathies to both the Culler and Hladiek families. I didnt know Carrie personally but I know Jason through work. Just the way he lit up every time he spoke of Carrie told me what an extraordinary person she was. My condolences and prayers to both families in this unfortunate time.
