Sister Carter I remember you always called the traveling nurse. You inspired me with your wisdom, knowledge,and passion. I'm forever grateful for the teachings and guidance you instilled in me so I can become that perfect star. I'm going to miss our talks, that beautiful smile and the humorous laugh you do. I love and truly miss you. May God continues to keep you in his bossom and you continue to laugh out loud. Love you Sister Gipson 💙💛🤍💚❤️
To the family of my dear sister and friend, Lois Carter, my heart is so heavy right now. Every year on my birthday, Lois would call or either drop something in the mail and always say "It's your birthday and I always have a little something for you". We began our walk together, but now she will have to go ahead without me. I'm praying for the family. God makes no mistakes; therefore family, continue to look toward the mark of the high calling and remember that whatever you're going through, God will take care of you.
