Our thoughts and prayers are with Mother Carter's family during your time of loss. It is our hope the tears you shed and the precious memories you share will bring you unspeakable peace and joy as you commemorate the rich life and legacy of Mother Carter. May the comfort of the Holy Spirit embrace your family during this time along with the precious promises of God's Word. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."
I have fond memories of Mother's Carter's "prize winning pound cakes" shared with the NZBC Mission Ministry when she served as host of our in-home meetings.
She will be dearly missed and we encourage you to rejoice in knowing her promotion to heaven will make your reunion with her, Rev. Carter and others even the more joyous.
With deepest sympathy.... Rev. Lillie Holman, David & Betty Smauldon and our families ~
