Sad for all of you. She is in a better place now for sure.
My deepest condolescence to the entire Carter family. Wonderful woman im sure and live a very good life. Im very sorry to hear the news. My prayers are with you all.
I first met Ms Marie Carter at our Church. Later we got close and she allowed me to call her Granny. She reminded me so much of my blood granny. We became very close. I'm thankful God connected us together. We loved spending time together. Prayers for the Family and Friends. The Dorcas Ladies of Rock Solid will miss her. I love you Granny.
Sending prayers and hugs to the family.
Heaven gained a special angel!
Love,
Larry &Judy Young
