CARLENE YOU WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED BY THE ENTIRE HAYNIE FAMILY. IT'S BEEN QUITE SOME TIME SINCE WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU, BUT YOU WERE ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS. THERE WAS SO MUCH WE MISSED. WE THOUGHT OF YOU AND TALKED OF YOU ALL THE TIME, JUST COULDN'T REACH OUT AND TOUCH YOU LIKE WE WANTED TO. YOU LEFT 3 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN WHO WILL CARRY ON YOUR LEGACY WITH THEIR SMILES AND LAUGHTER. GOD HAS A PLAN AND IT'S FAR GREATER THAN ANYTHING YOU COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED HERE ON EARTH. YOUR CHILDREN LOST A MOTHER, BUT GAINED A STRONG BEAUTIFUL ANGEL. GOD BLESS DELENA AND THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS TIME.

To Mrs. Barron (Big Mama), Gladys, and the Barron and Jones Families,

I have known Carlene since I was 8 years old and she was 10. We were neighbors and her niece and nephew attended my mother's daycare one house away from hers. I have not seen Carlene since childhood but I never forgot her kind mannerisms. To the families, I offer my deepest condolences and prayers during this difficult time. Rest assure she has returned unto her creator where she will suffer no more. May God bless you and keep you everyday in His grace.

Sincerely,

Tina

How lucky you are to have had such a special wife. I didn't know her but from what I am hearing and reading she sounds special. Only a few will ever experience that in their lifetime and you were one of the lucky few. How blessed you are. God Bless you John

I know it will take a lot of time to learn to live without this special person and it won't be easy. But CARLENE would want you to take the very best care of yourself and enjoy the fullest life you can.

Each time you think of CARLENE think about all the memories you made together! Think about those beautiful lil girls she gifted to you all! Let the love you shared give you the courage and strength to help you move on. Those babies,John, Deleana, Big Mama, Papa,Seneca, Ellis and Steve and so many others in the family need that love to help move on!!!
Glayds thank you for bringing me and Tylin into the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers! The Lord makes no mistakes. God is so good!
