Even though Aunt Ollie’s passing leaves me with such sadness, her life gave me memories too beautiful to forget. To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
May your memories give you strength.

Mrs. Carter was loved by all her knew her. Such a wonderful example of love and kindness. It brings tears to my eyes to think of her sweeping the driveway on Wooddell Drive and her lively visits to see my mother and father. Heaven's gates were thrown open for her grand arrival. But she will be missed by all those who loved her and mostly by those whose lives she touched with her gentle spirit and laughter.
