It is said that people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Well the comradery between two men that brought our families together definitely represents a lifetime. Ecclesiastes 4:9 (NLT) says two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. Our hearts go out to you during this time - praying God's peace, comfort, and lots of love! With caring thoughts, Padgett Family

To Flossie and the Carter Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. May your loving memories bring you comfort now and in the days to come.

Thinking of you, Linda Linton Winston-Salem, NC

Dad- Being the first born of the first Thomas Carter family which spurned eight siblings, I am the historian, as I have seen it All. During our ephemeral time together, I've tried to capsulize memories of our 65 year association, there's only one that stands above all others, your friendship with James (Janky) Padgett & family and William (Rooster) Martin & family: I greatly appreciate you living us in these distinguished hands for us to continue to flourish and carry on "Our" family name. Roman's 12:10; 1 Peter 2:17 states To love unconditionally, we obey God's command to put on Love or Respect despite the Circumstances. Robbie G. Carter, U.S. Army (Ret)

Daddy-Even though our time together was limited, I have no regrets because life is not about dwelling on the past. It's about living in the present and appreciating a father's lifelong gift of blessing me with eight (8) "amazing" siblings who, in their special way, taught me to have a forgiving heart and untiring soul and to continue dreaming, believing, and becoming. Dad, Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). - Dr. Brett Carter

Sending my condolences and prayers to the Carter family so sorry for your loss may God strengthen each one of you Sharon Green and family

On behalf of The Sherwin-Williams Company, we would like to extend our sincere condolences to your family.
