Not sure what to say?

Dear Mary and family,
Just want you know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in the loss of Carroll. I have great memories of getting to visit with all of you when you would visit his mother (my great aunt Ollie) in Florence. So sorry for your loss. Will continue to keep all of you in my prayers.

Dear Mrs. Lisby,

First, let me say I am very sorry for your loss. I never met your husband, but I remember hearing about him through the years.

Thank you for your years as librarian at Reese Road School. You introduced me to the wider world of reading as a young reader. You influenced a generation of readers. You were always patient and kind, even when we were not at our best!

Mom (Virginia Williams) is 93 years young... Dad (Leon) passed away 12 years ago. Brother...

Mrs. Lisby, I know how your heart is breaking. He was loved deeply and will be greatly missed by all.

Greg, my prayers are with you and your family during these difficult days. I just this morning read of your Father's passing. God be with you and your family.

Nina Beth, I never had the honor of meeting your Dad, but after reading his legacy and seeing his picture, I can see a lot of him in you. Always remember the fun you and your Dad shared and you will only shed tears of joy. I know you will miss him everyday.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family!

I miss my Granddaddy so very much, but I am so happy he's walking for the first time since 1955. Plus, he has the added bonus of seeing my uncle for the first time since 2004. He was one of my most favorite people in the world.

My most favorite memory is at Christmas when I was five, I would pretend he was Santa in his sleigh (wheelchair) and I was his reindeer (with my then infant brother Luke) and we would visit different countries (rooms in the house) delivering presents. It was so...

My family has such wonderful memories of being with Uncle Carroll and Aunt Mary during the Christmas season. He and my dad would organize the trip downtown with the kids so we could see the decorated windows on Christmas Eve. While there were secret activities going on back at the house. I always think about him at Christmas. He will be sorely missed, but, we know that he is in the perfect place now.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Mr. Lisby was a very sweet and christian man and will truly be missed.
