Elder Carter & Family, It is with heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I will truly miss Bro. Carter, as we would always fist bump every Sunday asking each if you’re okay! He would get on me when I would miss church and I would get on him, all in fun! I will always cherish the prayer I had with him, it was a touching moment! Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Continued prayers for the family. Elder Terista Cooper ❤
