Although I never had what must be the greatest honor to have met Carole Craver, I did speak with her many a time on the phone. Her soothing, strong words and her matriarchal prowess always shone through. To the Craver family, especially Mr. Richard Craver, Rhonda and Robin, may you find peace in Jesus' promise of eternal life and always bask in the glory of having Carole Craver in your lives.

With love always,
Sharmila Kana

This life, this body, is only temporary. Mrs. Craver now has a new life, and a better life with The King.

I will always remember her for her love of music, witty remarks, sassy attitude and geniune love for children.

Although she will be missed here, we will see her again!

May God Bless the Craver Family,
Love you always,
Yolanda Hart-Gardner
