In Memory of Barbara Carter

My mother, Barbara Carter, was a huge and avid harness racing fan. While she died of stage four lung cancer, she dealt with Multiple Sclerosis for ten, plus years. She was able to make a living while being a server but had good and bad days. Mom and I got to enjoy one final Hambletonian together, when Ramona Hill scored a victory on what ended up being her last good day. She was a huge part of my life and helped me become the parent I am today.
