Emily and I were saddened to learn of Phyllis' death.
Husband Leroy was my mentor and a dear friend.
I was there when he met and fell in love with Phyllis and also when they got married.
He made a wonderful choice in Phyllis. She was very loving and oh so smart.
Our prayers go out to all of her family members.

David and family, my heart goes out to you as Hank just told me about the loss of your mother. I know that it is difficult. Mothers are precious and I know you kept up with her and helped out. Know that any joy you give a Mom, will always be cherished by her. God bless you all. Rita

To all the Carver family, especially my ole friend James. Lots of emotions and good memories for me. Your Mom was such a precious soft spoken person with the most wonder spirit. She made you feel happy and secure when around her. I am saddened that she is no longer here in body but at the same time rejoice that she is now with our Lord. No restraints, totally free! I pray for you all during this time. With much love, Kent Buckman Jr.
