Worked for Rev. Carter as Church Secretary when he was Pastor at Montmorenci Church. He was a very kind man, always smiling and very helpful. He was always willing to help with bulletin or any project that I needed assistance with and cared about all people.
Thinking of you during this time.

Jonnie,
We all loved Ed so much. He had such a gentle nature, and caring spirit. Our thoughts are with you and your family in this difficult time. We share in this loss of a wonderful man and devoted minister.
We heard from the High Point District Office of the UM Church that your husband Rev. J. Edwin Carter passed away this week. Please know that we are holding you in our prayers. Both Doug and I are pastor’s kids as well as pastors. We know how incredible it is to be in such a special family of God with you. May you find Christ’s healing in the midst of your loss as you celebrate the service of Death AND Resurrection today. Blessings from the Millers in Ramseur, NC (Randolph County).
