Sweet Carter... Rest in Peace.

We will surely miss Carter. He and his brothers and my father -- they all left us with many stories and wonderful memories from Sandersville. Our prayers are with the Summerlin family.

Will miss you homie .To the family so sorry for you'er loss. Bobby Lawson

Carter and I had been in court past lunch representing one of his clients. He always bought my lunch in lieu of a fee. We went to his friends restaurant to eat that had closed for the day. He knew his way around. He served me a dish of ice cream for my lunch. He couldn't find a spoon so he gave me fork. The ice cream was still good as best I remember.

I'll always miss my buddy. Rest In peace my dear friend.

Gary and I are so sorry for the loss of aa loved one. Our prayers are with famil and friends..

I can't imagine a world without Carter. His devotion to his children and family, and his caring for friends, are legendary. He will never be forgotten by all those whose lives he touched.

Prayers for all the family,Carter was a
Loving and generous husband and father,grandfather now he is not in any pain and he is looking down from above smiling and watching over you.
