Carroll Lackey was one of my "favoritest" people" in all the world".
We worked together for many years, at CHDC.
He always had a smile and a kind thing to say.
Please know, I care.

My deepest sympathy to the Lackey family. I always thought very highly of Mr. Lackey and will remember him as a kind man who was a true example of what a Christian man should be. His presence here on this earth will be missed, but will surely brighten up Heaven's entrance. God Bless you all.

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear Carroll. I hope that you will find comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28,29 where he promised that the day is coming when he is going to resurrect those in the grave. Until then, it is just like they are sleeping. (John 11:11-13) May you draw strength from Jehovah, the God of all Comfort.

Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Carroll was a true gentleman. He was always a delight to be with. We will miss him much. May you be lifted up in the days ahead by all the promises of God. Jesus said " I go to prepare a place for you and I will return ad receive you unto myself that where I am you may be also." We will be together again. Love to all of you. Martha
