Our prayers and thoughts go out to Robert Carter Sr.'s family and friends. We knew him through my sister's husband, Robert Carter, Jr. I can't even count the number of Christmas's and Thanksgivings he celebrated with our family. It was a joy to have him join us for those holiday meals. He always had a warm, loving heart and a smile on his face. And, boy did he love the Holdman peanut brittle!! He will always be remembered with loving thoughts. God's blessing of love and peace to the family during this difficult time. Know that this separation is only for a season and that some day we will join together once again as we celebrate around Christ's throne.
