Pam and Paula, your Mom was a good friend, neighbor, church family and Amar Homemaker. We have shared some good times, good conversations and there will be good memories. When losing someone you love, if they knew the Lord we can be at peace knowing they are rejoicing in His presence. May the Lord give you both comfort and strength today and the days to come. The Lord already knows our needs even before we ask. I will always remember Inez and Jr. Carter.
Hey Ms. Paula,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray the good Lord puts his big loving arms around you and your family so that you know his peace through this. Love always
We come to know both Mr. Carter (Jr.) and Inez over these last 20 plus years. Both were excellent people to visit and they always made us feel welcome. Inez and I (Judy) were friends before she invited me to Homemakers. But, for her invitation, I would not have gone. I have truly enjoyed being friends with her and I will miss her very, very much. She truly will always be loved by me. May God grant each of her family peace, strength, and a legacy of love for many generations to come.
Paula, I so sorry for your loss and I know words don’t mean enough when you lose your parents but just know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds while sitting on the back porch in the evening. “When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder I’ll Be There” was one of her favorite songs I played on the piano for her. We watched a lot of good music and preaching on channel 48.
Praying for you all at this time Mrs.Carter was a wonderful lady who loved her girls & family. She will be missed by many people in the community
God bless and help you thru your loss
