Not sure what to say?

Lori, Patti and Craig - just saw online that your Mom passed recently. I was talking to someone from Central about a week ago and asked about her. She was a wonderful lady - had an infectious laugh! - and I just wanted to let you know Im thinking of you all. Ill never forget the time Susan, Craig and Lori and I were playing Rook (or was it Monopoly?) and it got kind of ugly and your Mom got on to us about being nice. I think of you all often - hope youre doing well. May God give you peace...

I was so sorry to hear of Mrs Carters passing. I have many fond memories at the Carter home as a teen. My prayers and thoughts are with all her family. God bless you all at this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Donna was a wonderful woman and a second grandma to me. She will always be in my heart. I pray that you will be at peace during this difficult time and remember that she is with Jesus, Ed, and all her loved ones who have passed on, and one day we will all be together again. I love you all and want you all to feel comforted at this time.

A lovely lady and wonderful mother. May God be with all her family always.
