To our dearest Carter Family, When God brought our families together in 1960, it was truly a blessing. Beloved Clema and our Mother (Connie) were a team who fed and watched over us with compassion. Clemma blessed us daily with her homemade biscuits. Gracefully, she shared her love and made a difference in our lives. She will be missed. From our hearts to yours, we thank God for Clemma. We grew up together, we will stay together. "Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power."Ephesians 6:20 From The Collins Family

My sincere condolences to Brig and family. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God bless.

Tammy Harris

Family,

Losing Grandma has left a space in my heart that I know can never truly be filled. She was more than just the matriarch of our family, she was our comfort, our laughter, our safe place, and our strength. The love she gave so freely is something that will live on in all of us.

I know this loss is heavy, especially for her children, and my heart aches for each of you. There are no words that can take away this kind of pain, but I pray we find some peace in knowing she is no longer suffering and is finally at rest.

Let's continue to hold each other close, to love one another a little harder, and to carry on the values and spirit she poured into this family. That is how we keep her alive.

I love you all.
