I've been blessed to be one of Charles Carters (Pops) granddaughters. Any one who knew him knew that he was a great man. A man who would help anyone and want nothing in return. I pray that I can follow in his footsteps and after 65 years of marriage look at my husband and still tell him I love him. (As he did with my Nannie). We miss and love you very much!

I will always treasure the summers I spent with my grandfather as I was growing up. I have always looked up to him as a man that could build or fix anything he put his hands on. In the last few years I have come to understand just how strong a person he really was. And I will miss him until I see him again in heaven.

I know he was wonderful because we now have the gift of his beautiful grand daughter in our lifes. We love her and know that must be much of who she is, she got from her grand dad. We thank you for that gift. Again, we are sorry for you loss and will keep you all in prayer. The Lord has a very special place for people like Ed. God Bless you.
