From The New York Times-
Amid the emotional tributes to Gary Carter here Friday, his accomplishments in baseball were an unavoidable topic.
But the memorial service for Carter, who died last week after a battle with brain cancer at age 57, also highlighted his devotion to God and his family.
The service for Carter was held in front of hundreds of friends, family members and former teammates at Christ Fellowship, a large modern church resting on a palm tree-laden campus.
Among those who attended were former teammates like Darryl Strawberry, Jesse Orosco, Wally Backman, Bobby Ojeda, Rusty Staub and Lenny Dykstra.
Also on hand were some current Mets, including Manager Terry Collins, David Wright, Jon Niese, Josh Thole and Bobby Parnell.
