Margie and family, you know that while we grieve with you, we also get to share so many wonderful memories too. And so many begin with Carter, a great man with a big heart. Although our hearts are heavy, sharing "Carterisms" and some of his more classic stories will help get us through, and knowing he's in good company. We are here for you and always, love you more.
Love, Maureen, Leslie & Kevin, Lauren & Amjd, Christian, Carolyn, Emma & Jack

Please accept my condolences. Words cannot express the pain in your hearts, but know that God is greater than anything that brings us pain and suffering. He promises that soon he will satisfy all proper desires, especially our desire to see our dear loved ones again. (Psalm 145:16)
