Dear Carr family,
Please accept my condolence and deep regrets for your loss for I lost my entire family to our enemy death and I’d like to share where I found help at that time. I found hope and comfort in what I read in Jehovah Gods word the Bible at John5:28,29 there it tells us we’ll see our love ones again in the resurrection when Jesus brings them back here on earth and also at Isaiah25:8 we’re told that this enemy death will be gone forever. With these scriptures along with jw.org I’m able to cope with my loss and get through each day because now I know I’ll see my love ones again and so can you. I wanted to share this with you now when hope and comfort is needed hoping that this will help you also in some way for this is my purpose in sharing this with you at this time. Please know that I do share your grief and hope you’ll feel free to let me know if this helped. I hope to hear from you.
Sincerely, GM
My prayers are lifted way high for you and your family. I remember Violet very well. She was a wonderful and beautiful woman. I live across the street from her in middle school and went to school with Craig Carr. Even then I remember her to be a very nice woman. She will be missed greatly. She lived a very long life and put a Smile on everyone’s face. God has a new angel to look over us. I love you Violet and miss you.
Thinking about you all at this time, Just be thankful you had your mom a long time because when Mom’s Brother went to Heaven and i was 21 when God took Mom to Heaven to join her son she never seen Ronnie Dale. And her brother Charles. I dont know what your mom went thru but with my mom they was not a day went by that i didn’t
Think about her.
And today 40 years and 6 months it is just as fresh in my mind as the day it happened.
For some reason i have been told my psychiatrist that Mother’s are a special place in there kids Heart.
I will be praying for you all now and the Days to cone. Please stay Very close to each other as brother and sister because you all will need each other!!
Steve Long
