Well this weekend I lost a great father-in-law, but our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gained a great servant. I will miss seeing and talking to him and just listing to his wisdom about the Savior and the Word of God, but I know I will see him again when a get to heaven and he says Ron come over and say ha to Jesus and set down and talk with Him for a while with Moses, Peter and Paul. What a great day that will be. My father-in-law was a great man of God, what a blessing it was just to be his Son-in-law, now my dear Father rest where there is no more pain, no more crying and be forever with our Lord. Now goodbye for a while, I will carry on with our Lords work until He brings me home and I will see you again.
Your Loving Son-in-law: Ron
Lord Is My Shepherd
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalms 23 KJV
Carroll was always a joy to be around, I know he will be missed by many. My sympathy for the family during this time of loss…
I am sorry to hear of your loss but we can rejoice with the knowledge that he is in that heavenly city. I know how much you loved him. I will be remembering you and the family in my prayers.
When I think back to all the fun times I had at Mary Ann and Carolls house it bring such a smile to my face. When I was young I spent most of my summers at their house. How I loved going to the lake with them, making ice cream all most everyday, going to the drive in movies. He always keep us laughing. After Lowell and I got married it was still like my second home, I wanted to go visit them every week. We had so much fun getting pizza and watching movies, Lowell learned to love the family as much as I did. We spent so many fun times at the Beach and camping trips. If we got a little snow, straight to their house we would go, they new to be watching for us. I will never forget the time he wanted me teach him to dance, he wanted to learn how to do the the Twist, and he did! I will miss this sweet Godly man but I know I will see him again soon. I know Lowell was so glad to see him!
Carroll will be missed by his many friends and his loving family. He was a very kind and generous person
I am so sorry Robert, Sharon and Karen along with the rest of the family! Knowing he is in a better place is wonderful of coarse that doesn’t mean we don’t miss them! I.pray Jesus be with you comfort and peace to you all! Always praying for you and your mom.
I was so sorry to learn of Carroll’s passing, but we can have great comfort in knowing he is with our Lord and Savior now. You are such a sweet, Godly family and I pray for God to give you His special grace in this time of deep sadness. Let us look forward to that glad reunion day! Love and prayers…
