So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
Marsha and Curtis,
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your mom. She was always so kind to me, and I have nothing but good memories of her. The fact that she came all the way to Wyoming for my mom's funeral says so much. I want you both to know that I wanted to be there to support you both, but circumstances in my life prevented that. I love you both so much, and I'm always just a phone call away.
Prayers for Curtis and your family
Curtis, my prayers are with you and your family. Your mom was a beautiful and fun lady. I'm so blessed to have done my student teaching with her. She was a great example of how to love and teach children.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of Donna's family. I was a fellow teacher at Bryant Elementary years ago..
Dear Curtis ,
The loss of a parent for me was an experience I never thought I would go through. Thanks to God that He teaches us that death is scoffed at and we will see our loved ones again.
Much love, brother...❤️😇🙏
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Ms. Carter during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family at this time. We have many sweet memories of Donna from our time together at First Baptist Church. May God bless and comfort you now and in the days to come.

Marsha, praying for you and your family. Ms. Donna always gave me a big grin at Mt. Carmel. She really lit up when I told her I knew you. May peace flood your soul.
