Not sure what to say?

So very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers going up for the entire Colwell family. Carlton will surely be missed by by all .

My Love and Prayers are with Carlton's family. We have lost another good man. May God Bless and Comfort you all. If anything I can do let me know. Your Friend Frances

Carlton´s legacy speaks to the rich cultural heritage of the North Georgia Mountains. Although I was only blessed to know Carlton in his final years on Earth, he was such a wealth of knowledge who could recollect most events and people with whom he had interacted in his life! He had such a detailed memory and played such a distinct role in the social and economic growth in the state. While we have lost a friend and mentor to many, in him, we have also lost a library and an invaluable resource...

Uncle Carlton was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and my dear dear uncle. As a small child I remember wonderful visits with Uncle Carlton and my mother's sister, Aunt Odetta. My cousins were my playmates and the whole Colwell family showed me love and stability in a time when my own family faced many many changes. We were blessed to have him in our lives and will miss him until we meet again. With love from Sharone and Juergen and Allie and Neil, in Harwich England.

He was such an example of a life well lived! My grandparents grew up with him (Crawfords, Penlands, Berry’s) and he did so much for the community! Prayers for all.

Curtis and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Carlton was a fine man who will surely be missed.

We have lost a great man, but Heaven holds him while he waits for you all to join him. I extend my love, sympathy, and prayers to each of you! Edith Payne Davis

What an incredible Christian man, husband, father, grandfather and statesman! Carlton's legacy will live on long after his passing. My sincere condolences to his beloved family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Prayers for the family.
