Mark Carter sent Ocean Devotion for Eddie Lamar Carter - April 25, 2025
Always one of my biggest supporters and encouragers no matter what it was that I was doing, in education, ministry, or in my career. He was always willing to go out of his way to help me for as long as he could. Family was important to him and he loved the Lord and never lost his faith, one of the last things I heard him say was " I ain't gave up yet just keep praying for me." He will be dearly missed. Rest on Brother Uncle Eddie.
Eddie was one of my friends in school.We graduated together in 69.To the family May the love of God and the peace of God be with you.Amen!
