Dear Cartrett family,
I was in the same grade with Doyce, and he and I and Delmar Colleps were the best of friends. Doyce showed great character even in his childhood. I had a great respect for him. I never knew him to do anything wrong. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I will always remember him

My sympathy to all his family.

This is such a shock to me. I did not know that Mr. Cartrett was sick. I bought some land from him one year ago. He was such a nice person and I always hoped that he was coming by to see that I was keeping up the land because it was a place that held lots of memories for him. The pine trees that his father planted when he was small still stand. I am praying for you Mrs. Joyce and your family. He was such a special man with a great spirit. I thank God that I happened upon his obituary. I mourn with you all. God Bless each of you.
