Jackson mother keeps late son’s memory alive in new children’s book series
JACKSON, MI - When she remarried last fall, Sierra Carter said it was a “beautiful coincidence” that her new last name is a tribute to her late son, Carter Buffum, who brought inspiration to so many during his short lifetime. In addition to spreading those messages, Sierra said the stories are intended to preserve the memory of Carter. “This is one of my favorite stories from his life,” Sierra said.

During Carter’s life, milestones like taking his first steps inspired many, while he helped raise thousands of dollars for the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation and Ann Arbor’s C.S.

mlive.comActivist fund with a soft touch looks to shake up a wireless company that's lost its way
