Our hearts go out to the Carter family in the loss of such a wonderful man as Alvin. We enjoyed a very nice time of visiting together just recently and will treasure that time. Unfortunately we didn't get to go to lunch together with Louise as we had planned. No one ever met Alvin without knowing that he loved his Lord, his family, and his country. Louise, he loved you dearly and shared that with many. He was a true gentleman and we will miss him greatly. We pray God's blessings and strength for you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you, Herman & Phyllis

Louise (Weezy) , I am so sorry for your loss. Alvin was such a wonderful and caring person and will be missed by many. He always had a smile on his face when referring to you. You always put a smile on my face when you always lovingly called him Mr. Carter. I pray you and the boys will find strength in all the wonderful memories you have.
