Rev. Carter wife immediate family and church family have my deepest sympathy in his death but heavens gain. I remember Howard from his days at Froebel School , He was a quiet person with a beautiful personality. We all were shocked to hear of his passing but know he will now receive what God promised Eternal life. Our chain is broken by his death but not the love we have for our classmates. Praying for you and family in the days ahead. Heaven gained a true angel.
