Carola Mimi McSwain

Gary,
We were unable to be with you to help "hold you and your family up." But please know that you WERE being held up before our Lord for the strength to make it through each day. What a blessing Carola was to our world! She will be missed but we celebrate her life eternal!

Gary and Hannah, we were saddened to hear of Carola's passing. She was such a bright light and a joy to know. She will be missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. ~ Michelle Wilson & Dr. Andy Linial

On the passing of my dear sweet sister in the Lord, Carola Sander McSwain.......Dearest Carola, Gary, Regina and Hannah, I cannot adequately express in words my grief in learning of my precious sister's passing. We were soul sisters in the truest sense of the word. People used to say we looked like sisters. Our texts to each other throughout the past few months sang of our hopes and prayers for a miracle...it was not to be. I know without question she is now in the arms of her precious Savior and Lord, whom she loved and so strongly exemplified, to me and to all she met. Beautiful in appearance and spirit, Carola was my dearest friend in Atlanta back when we met around 1990 in a small group at First Baptist Church. She was the most gentle, godly soul I had ever met in my life. I wanted to be just like her in every way. We shared a small and intimate prayer group, consisting of me, Carola, Gary, and two mutual friends from our small group, Tim and Susan. Her incredible wisdom, faith and indomitable spirit helped me through the end of one of the most difficult and painful relationships in my life...we dreamed of one day being neighbors at our beloved Edisto....dearest Carola, we will meet again "in the sweet by and by," on our floating lounge chairs down the Jordan, as we often chuckled...I love you with all my heart, and I thank you and the Lord for the gift and example of your life.

So very sorry to hear this sad news. You and Hannah will be in our thoughts and prayers. Benjamin & Eva Powell
