Dear Yvonne & family, I was so sad to hear of your father's death. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Bethany
Dear Yvonne: It is very sad to lose a father, so my heart goes out to you. From the picture he looks adorable, and from the story of his life, he was quite the man. No matter what age we are when both parents are gone, it is so strange, so call me if you ever want to talk. God Bless you and Monique, Nancy Ussery
All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. I believe there was a Madisonville "Carter" family member in each of your classes. It says a lot of your parents to have raised such respectful children. May your memories help you in the days and years to come. Pam Carter Edwards (formerly from Madisonville)
