I love you, Uncle Carlton!!! You were a wonderful man to all who had the honor of meeting you.. Thank you for all your talks to me about Jesus. I’ll see you again, in that beautiful mansion……….
Many prayers for the family. May God comfort you in the days ahead. I have fond memories of Carlton and Clara when they lived on Leach Rd. Our family has lost another loved one but I know Carlton is rejoicing in Heaven and living in God’s presence! Oh what a homecoming!
Dewey was one of the meekest, kindest, people I have ever met. He was a treasure to our church family. He represented in life an example of Christian servant, brother, and faithfulness. His testimony still lives on.
Dewey was such a gift to us. We moved here from Pennsylvania almost 7 years ago, and Dewey welcomed us into the neighborhood. Dewey was such a sweet, sweet man, always ready to help others. When you would think he didn’t “hear” you, he was really thinking about a humorous comeback. We loved Dewey, and yes, heaven did gain an angel for sure.
Prayers for the family
So sorry to hear this news Clara.
Please, take care of yourself.
