To Sylvia, Candy, Albert, Jr. and siblings - please accept my sincere condolences and that of ImmanuEl's Fountain Christian Fellowship in Dothan, Alabama. Mrs. Carter was a beautiful soul and a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. Her strength, gentleness, courage and classiness is a small part of her dynamic legacy she leaves with her family, dear friends, and community. May the Love of God, dear & loving friends and family comfort and strengthen you all from this day forward.
