Sent a gift in memory of Carole Moore Braswell
To all of the Braswell family, Aunt Carole will be missed. We are praying for you all. Seeing Aunt Carole’s picture reminds me of all the times I have seen her. She was always smiling, and always happy to see me. She had enough love to go around, and she shared her hugs. She is a beautiful woman whom everyone loved, and whom everyone will miss deeply. Love, Hugs, & Prayers, Kimberly Massengil Nelson (Neice)
Lit a candle in memory of Carole Moore Braswell
I remember Ms. Braswell from her band parenting days and traveling to competitions and parades. A sweet lady with a sweet spirit. My prayers will list you, Debi and Scott, and I will ask for God to hold you in the palm of his hand to comfort you during this difficult time. May God give you strength in the days ahead.
There are people me meet that make a lasting impression on our life. Carol was one of those people, her love for others showed through her. She will always be remembered! Praying for you all. Love the Ross family, Todd, Melissa, and Sierra
I am so sorry for your loss. The Bible tells us at Acts 2415 that the dead will be brought back to life. Also, Isaiah 258 says that Jehovah will eliminate death forever. Psalm 379-11;29 explain Jehovah’s promise to have all live on earth forever in a paradise without sickness, death, or any of the problems and badness we face. I hope that these scriptures can comfort all in grief.
My sincere condolence to the family of Carole for your loss. During this time of sorrow, comfort is certainly found in the promises that Jehovah has in his word the Bible-2 Cor. 13, 4! How wonderfull it will be to live during a time when no one says they are sick-Isa 3324. If no one is getting sick, that means no more death! Rev. 213-5! Jehovah can’t lie so we can put trust in His promises-Titus 12! Can the Dead live again Jesus assures us that there Will be a resurrection-John 528, 29! So we can reunite with our family again! May the family be comforted!
