Wendy Cadwalader, left, of Beaumont, and her sister Micayla
Grey, of Idetown, tend to the grave ofCadwaladers daughter Carrie
Martin who was murdered six years ago to the day Friday. A
motor-cycle run is scheduled for Sunday in her honor.
Bike event keeps slain womans memory aliveBy Patrick SweetStaff
Writer
WILKES-BARRE Fridaymarked six years since Car-rie Martin, 20
years old andthereigning Luzerne CountyFair Queen, was stabbed
todeath in her Larksvillehome.
For her mother, WendyCadwalader, Martin still
liveson,memorialized by a nearlylifelike tattoo on herback.
Cadwalader had a pictureof Martin, with angel wings
added, tattooed on her leftshoulder blade not long afterher
daughters death.
Shes been on my backmy whole life, Cadwaladersaid. I want to
keep herthere.
The tattoo symbolizes Cad-waladers commitment topreserving her
daughtersmemory, a mission Cad-waladertakes seriously.
On Sunday, Cadwalader is
hosting the fifth annualCar-ing for Carrie MotorcycleRun and
Benefit, a 60-milemotorcycle ride that beginsat the Luzerne County
FairGrounds in Dallas and endsat Konefals Grove in Shaver-town.
Money raised by theevent will go to the CarrieMartin We Can Make
theWorld a Better Place Schol-arshipFund.
Cadwalader doesnt want
tolet Martin go, and inmany
w a ys Ma rti n s ti ll li ve sthroughher mothers efforts.
When Cadwalader satdown last December at the
Dallas Correctional Facility,face to face with JosephGacha,
theman convicted ofkilling her daughter andserving lifeplus 20to
40yearsin prison, Martin was thereto support her,
Cadwaladersaid.
SheaskedGacha about themurderand prison life. Shak-ing, as
shesaidshe often doeswhen she is nervous, Cad-walader asked him if
hed
admit to killing her daugh-ter.
It helped me a lot to be
able to say things, Cad-walader said. I know Carriecame down to
be there withme andbrought Godwith herbecause I neededall thehelpI
couldget.
Gachas answers werevague,she said, and he main-tained his
innocence. Cad-walader, though, wasntlook-ingfor closure.
I knew I wasnt going toget the answers I wanted,
Cadwalader said. Closurewould be (Martin) walkingback through my
door andgiving me a hug and tellingme shelovesme.
The motorcycle run is animportant wayfor Cadwalad-er to remember
her daugh-ter.
(The event is)what keepsme going, Cadwalader said.Idont want her
to beforgot-ten.
The ride has drawn 170 to190 motorcyclesin
pastyears,shesaid.
Artand Kerri Pimm, long-time friendsof Cadwaladers,came up with
theideafor theevent in 2005.Art Pimm saidhe noticed that a lot of
theirfriends rodemotorcycles andfigured it would be a goodway to
benefit the scholar-ship fund and memorializeMartin.
Its a moving day for manypeople, Pimm
said,especiallyCadwalader.
(Cadwalader) gets a littleemotional when she sees allthe bikes
line up, Pimmsaid.The first yearwe didit,she made me do the
inter-vi e w , a n d I e ve n bro k edown.
They begin planning forthe run at the beginning ofthe year,
booking the fairgrounds and figuring outdetails. This year,
Cadwalad-ers 9-year-old daughter,
Katie-Jo, will have her ownbooth at Konefals, paintingfaces and
making beaded
jewelry.Katie-Jo, who was 3 years
oldwhen her sister was mur-dered, didnt always under-stand what
happened, Cad-walader said. When she wasyounger, Cadwalader and
herhusbandChris wouldanswertheir daughters questionsbut didnt go
out of their way
to talk about it with her.Katie-Jo now understandswhat happened
to her sisterand wants to help preservehersisters memory
withhermother.
She said, Mom, listen. Iwant to help sissys scholar-ship too I
want to do myown thing, Cadwaladersaid. Shes proud of herself,that
shes a part of it.
