Jeff, Sue, Jenny and Jamie~ Im so sorry for your loss. Pawpaw was a very special man! Everytime I think about him I smile. Im so thankful he no longer struggles and is at peace in heaven with Nanny. You know he is sitting in heaven with Nanny by his side checking out angel wings with a smirk on his face and a joke at the tip of his tounge! I will miss his beautiful blue eyes and all the laughs he has given me!

Carlton was a great uncle. I have many memories as a young boy at family gatherings at Nanny and Papa's house in Varina. I remembered he always had a smile, he laughed a lot, he loved his wife Dorothy, his kids and grandchildren, and he loved God. I not sure why he loved that dog that used to snap at everyone. I want to let the family know we are praying for you during this time. May God strengthen and encourage you.
