I knew her as Myrtle, she was loved by me and my family. My children were so special to her as well as her own grandchildren. She was always taking up time with them when she was at my Dad’s house in SC. She will be sorely missed by many! Love & prayers for her family.
So sad for the family, but happy for her as she strolled through those pearly gates and was met by loved ones and taken to meet her Savior, Jesus! How joyous she must be, getting to finally see the one who loved her more than anyone ever loved her. She will be missed by so many who knew her; she was Mom Carson, Mamaw, Grandma, and Mrs. Carson to all who knew her and met her. What a sweet Saint, we will cherish her memory for years to come.
