Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Carolyn, I just heard of your Mom’s passing and I send my deepest condolenses to you and Charles. I have such wonderful childhood memories growing up with you. Visiting the Weeks house was a treat for me and both your parents showed me the love and respect they have for you. We did have some really fun times at your house, the park and going so see Gone With The Wind in Raleigh. I have your parents to thank for that! My love to you and Mildred will be missed by all.

In this great time of pain & heart ache, we do well to go to the Bible for comfort. Jesuss demeanor was always one of love & happiness.. It was love for mankind that Jesus gave his life. (John 3 16) Jesus tells us I am the resurrection, & the life(John 11 25) What a wonderful gift we have been given.
