As most of you have already heard, Carrie went home to be with Lord Tuesday night around 9pm. She was surrounded by family. We are saddened at loosing her but at the same time we rejoice that she is no longer suffering and is cancer free. Visitation will be Thursday from 6pm - 8pm at Frederick's Funeral Home (1801 Frederick Road, Opelika). The service will be Friday at 11am at Lakeview Baptist Church (1600 East Glenn Avenue, Auburn). Burial will be at Memorial park Cemetery.
Thank you to everyone that has taken care of us and supported us for the past two years. We love each and everyone of you.

Our prayers will continue to lift you up, Jason, along with all of your family. God bless you during this time ...
ReplyDeleteYou do not know me and I have just heard from you... but God knows us. Knows our joys and pains.. I will pray for you. God give you comfort and peace. You are all special, God's wonderful tools! In II Corinthians 1:3-4 Paul writes, "Praise be to God . . . the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
ReplyDeleteJason, My name is Catey Boudreaux. I am Mike and Candy Boudreaux' daughter in law. We have never met but I had met Carrie a couple of times a long time ago, she was a wonderful person, I wish I would have known her better. My niece passed away three years ago of Cancer, she was only 6 yrs old. The pastor at the service said something that stuck with me... "don't focus on the dates. Focus on the dash - focus on how she lived out her dash!"
ReplyDeleteOctober 12, 1984 - October 25, 2011. Focus on how Carrie lived her dash. I am truly sorry for your loss and we will be thinking of you and your family.
Dear brother in Christ,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you have to deal with the physical loss of your wife. God gives us loved ones for a season and then when our purpose is fulfilled, He calls us home. There is so much peace to be enjoyed in knowing that Carrie was and is in the Gracious and Loving hands of the Lord. She will never feel pain again and she is now able to feel pure love face to face with our Savior! Suffering is no longer so now the healing must begin. I have had my classes praying for you and Carrie and now we will rejoice over her homegoing. Praise be that she knew the Lord and will rest eternally with Him. Peace to you brother and may you glorify the Lord for His great mercies! Sincerely- Sandi Turner
I'm amazed by your wife's faith... She was so brave and strong! I know you must have had many difficult moments, but these words above from the last two years just show how faithful she was. I wish I could be the same as she was. You are a very lucky man you had to chance to spend so many with her.
ReplyDeleteGod be with you and give you strength! Do not forget, goodbye is not the end...
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers- Desola
