Dear Charlene, Bill, and Brad,
Morgan and I are so sad for you and hope that the many years of wonderful memories; the love that never ends and can still be felt among Tim, Mrs. Garner, and each of you; your continued closeness with each other; and the love of God and so many family members and friends will be an on-going source of comfort for you.
We were out of town and thank Bill for letting us know yesterday. We are here for you and love you all. With deep and loving sympathy,

I have just received word of Carrie Love's passing. There are not enough words in the English language to express my feelings and affection for her. Charleene and Jane and family, you know that you are in mine and Bonnie's thoughts and prayers.

Charleene,
You, Jane and your mom were like the three musketeers every time I saw you. I'll always remember the time you all trekked out to see my babies after they were born! Know that she is now sharing a cup of coffee with Tim while they watch over you, his "beauty". Your mom was one of the most graceful people I ever met, just like you, and you demonstrate that every day of your life. I love you loads, Daria

Dear Friends,
My heart is saddened by Carrie Love's passing, but I rejoice that she is in Heaven with the Lord. What a kind, loving person she is! She always made me feel welcomed and loved. Everytime I spoke with her on the phone she ended our conversation saying, "Goodbye; love you." I extend much love in Christ to her nephew Bill and all of the family. God's Blessings.....Randy

Charleene, you invited me home with you from Longwood in the spring of 1962, giving me an opportunity to meet your loving, faithful, Christian parents. My vivid memory of your darling mother includes her delicate ways and her devotion to keeping the Sabbath holy. She cooked enough food on Saturday to present a delicious but cold Sunday dinner. No stove was operated in her kitchen on Sunday; Carrie Love didn't break the Sabbath. She also loved you dearly. Anyone could see that! The Lord gave her abundant years to love you, and He blessed you both by granting her a long life. Thank you for allowing me to be your roommate and to meet your parents. Hey, I love you, too! May the Lord comfort you and bring you peace. Trusting Christ to be all you need, I'm praying for you. Love, Jane Branham

I was so sorry to hear of Carrie's passing but will always remember her as she was so devoted to my mother Stella B. Branch that passed on June 20, 2009. Carrie always called mom and she was such a caring and loving woman of God. Jane and the rest of the family I know she will be dearly missed. Love Always, Pat Stallings

Dear Jane and Charleene, Martha and I want you to know of our deepest sympathy at the death of Carrie Love. Although she had a long and full life, her gracious presence will be so missed by you both. Together the three of you, plus Tim, modeled what so many hope for in family togetherness.
Thank you, Jane, for your faithfulness to Baby Lou and may that continue the rest of her days.
May God's abundant grace be with you both and with your families as it surely is with Carrie Love.

My sincere condolences to the family of Carrie Garner. Although maybe not appropriate, I would also like to say hello to one my most respected and admired teachers at F W Cox High School, Ms. Garner's daughter, Charleene. I knew her as Ms. Bateman, the all-mighty geometry teacher and will never forget her. And, another condolence to Ms. Bateman on the passing of her late husband. God be with you all, With kindness, Jerry Murphy
