Uncle Carlton the family will miss your wonderful smile and sense of humor. You were always happy and upbeat. You served as an inspiration to me at times when I thought that I could not find the strength to get through the day I would think of you and how you would always say that you could do all things through Jesus Christ who strenthens you and I would think if Uncle Carlton can do it at his young age of 99 then so can I. I will always remember how happy and excited you were to be the guest of honor at your first birthday celebration. My heart tingles when I think of the times we sat and talked and laughed together. Those times will forever be engraved in my heart and the families also. We know that you are resting with God now and that gives us the will to go on. We will miss you and we love you.
