At family reunions..Corby would scope me out from the crowd..And he would come and talk to me any chance he had...Corby was the nicest person you could ever met..Not only he is a second cousin. Consider Corby as my friend...I'll miss you..

Brother Carney had a profound influence on my young life, he lead me to Christ at the age of 8. I have never looked back! Now, my husband is the pastor of that same church...how the Lord works is truly amazing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

You showed how to be a friend even to a young teen. Memories of your handiwork are every where at church. I'm greatful to have had your influence in my life. Your blessings at our wedding 30 years ago are treasured. You and dad moved the earth with your friendship and abilities to make things work.
Hugs to the family...I send my condolences and joy in celebration of Brother Carney's homecoming!

Dad,
You will be missed. It seemed you would be with us forever and seems unreal that you are gone from us. I know you are safe in the arms of Jesus and finally free of pain, sorrows, and disappointments. In fact, you now have complete knowlege and understanding. I do promise to focus on all the goodness, generosity, love, and strength that you brought. We will carry on with our own Life's Railway to Heaven and make sure that all of our Bridges Are Burned Behind Us!

Your daughter,

Pam and Dan
