I just found this thread to late I see, as I would of surely sent a card!
I am so sorry for your loss Donna. I sit here with tears streaming down my face as yesterday was my own Dad's anniversary of death. I don't know about you Donna, but I was "Daddy's Little Girl".
It's been 22 years since he passed and it still seems like yesterday and I miss him very much. I pray you find comfort in your memories and happiness for the time God gave you with him. You will be in my prayers and in my thought as you travel this rough road.
Blessings,
Celeste

Hang in there Donna, and only think of the wonderful things you have shared with your dad.I only hope he was able to enjoy the many cards, and notes, from those of us who got to know him through You.Mike
Still thinking of you and praying for your family.....hang in there!!
Thinking of you today. Praying you'll feel a loving peace come over you.
i did Deb so so much LOVE! I was so glad to see you & Susan tonight!
Love you Both
Thank you all for your thoughts & prayers. I'm hanging on God's strength every mintue. Visitation was tonight and I was blow way by all the friends & family that were there. So many people LOVE my daddy and from I was told the lines started forming at 5:30. Which I was the last child to arive @ 7:00 & everyone seem to be lookin for me, who would of thought. But I need a little space from everyone, quiet time for me to sit and think.
I never knew my daddy touch so many people's heart. How PROUD I am to have been love by such a wonderful man. The preacher ask me what my frist thought were of daddy and I said LOVE - He Loved everyone and NEVER met a Stranger. Thou my heart breaks... Daddy did not realize that he was love so much. Because his wife would not let family & friends visit by not letting them in and turning off the phone ringer, not giving him his messeages. Kept him from recieving the LOVE he was starving for, I'll never forget his words. Everyone has forgotten me, he said.
Thats was one reson why I startd asking for cards Fill With LOVE mission. I ask and you my dear friends gave your LOVE as Jesus would do. He's was so so happy that you care enough, He truly felt LOVED again. Thank YOU - Thank You Thank YOU from the bottom for our hearts!
I will keep the Fill THE MAIL-BOX with LOVE mission alive in memory of my Daddy.

You remain in my thoughts and prayers, Donna. It is go good to hear from you. You will get throught this, I know you will, you can feel the love we all have and are sending to you. Just don't let emotions talk for you, if you are tired, rest and think about the problem before you react. Hugs!
Janet
As always, praying for you, and family.I know there are more GOOD memories, than sad, and I say choose the Good, and know who controlls the bad.(A defeated foe).Your DG friends are with you, and we all face the foe, at one time or another, and its up to us as to how long he hangs out with us. Mike
Your family's in my prayers, especially that his widow's heart will soften and there can be reconciliation. None of you need that strife when you're already grieving. God bless you!
Prayers and Hugs to you Donna and Your Family.
Donna, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Brenda
Bless you and all your family. Pray that things will work out with you and the "wife".
Big Hugs,
Elaine
Thank You Dear Friend,
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
Or sat quietly in a chair:
Perhaps you sent beautiful flowers,
If so, we saw them there.
Perhaps you sent or spoke kind words
As any friend could say:
Perhaps you were not there at all
Just thought of us that day,
Whatever you did to console the heart,
We thank you so much, whatever the part.
The Family of
James 'Wilbur' Carter
Hugs to you all!
Donna
Bless you sweetie!
Hugs,, Elaine
Gods blessings.
Thinking of you!
The "business" end of dealing with a loved ones passing, is horrible.
Take a break, and do something that makes you smile!
chris
In my thoughts and prayers!
Donna, I'm praying you busy in your gardens that you love so well.
Each day I'm finding more peace, knowing my daddy is in Heaven.
When I'm Gone
When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile.
Forget unkind words I spoken;
Remember some good I have done.
Forget that I've had heartache
And remember I've had loads of fun.
Forget that I've stumble and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way.
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day.
Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day,
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lay,
And come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west.
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.
In Loving Memory of
Daddy - Wilbur

What a beautiful tribute to your Daddy.
Hugs, Elaine
Live with the fondest memories, and remember what he taught you, and look for that great reunion.Mike
I'm doing good, we're just wating on probate court now. Unsure of whats ahead of us with the wife! We've had no respones from her or her attonery. It's like the quite before the strom.
Thanks for all your prayers,
Donna
Bless your heart, I hope it over soon so you can get on with the things you love to do! It is great to hear from you!
Dear Donna,
I have been "away" for a while from the DG site. Too busy and my hand has not been good at all since that fall. Still is not. Also we went on vacation and I just now logged on and learned of your father's passing. I am so sorry. You were so hopeful he would get better. I am thinking of you; stay strong - you will walk further in the end! And I loved your tribute to your dad. Take care.
Love, Coby
Donna, I just found your thread and I was praying for your dad as I began reading, then as I got near the bottom, I was saddened to hear of his passing. He was two years older than my husband.
I know that you must have many wonderful memories of his love as you were growing up.
My prayer for you is comfort and peace from God, also that the estate will be divided among the siblings that are entitled to it. Sure hope he had a good will.
Praying,
Chris
Oh I am so sad for you but happy for him, he sounded like a man who loved to live life and participate and share love. He can do it again now donna and be loved in a way he never knew possible. You are such a good daughter. Hope all the gifts of love were a lift to his spirit. (in my prayers.)
Thank YOU ALL for carrying me through these sad days.
Update on his widow & her doing's. In short we haven't step foot inside our father house since July 10th the day of the funeral. On July 13th we rec papers from her attonery that we MUST stay off the martial property or we'll face criminal charges.
We stay away for about 3 weeks then one Sunday we went to take inventory of all the farm equipment. A deputy sheriff was there waiting on us. He ask us to leave, then I show him the warranty deed. and he read it & said I can not run you off your on property.
Then he with an told the wife he could not do anything to us because we OWN the property. So time has pass very slow and we are finially going to court.
FOR her YEAR SUPPORT!
On Thursday 20th @ 2:00 pm we'll be in court for her year support - which the wife is claiming ALL REAL ESTATE property In which Daddy had a life-estate then it pass on to us kids at his death. Deed was dated Jan. 2003.
We haven't spoken to the wife since the funeral, and very hard to keep our month shut.
So far so good, the Lord has strenghten us in every step we have taken.
Please remember The Carter Kid's on Thursday @ 2pm in your prayers, and my the Women Judge see the wife as she really is. Making her decision on the facts left in Daddy's will.
We know that the Lord is GOING to SHOW UP & SHOW OUT on our behalf.
If I could go back in time, yes I would change alot of things but this is a hard road to hoe if we didn't have the Lord strength to carry us through.
We are still UNITY in LOVE just as Daddy's wishes.
Thank you All so kindly for your Love & Support words can't express How it makes me feel. I'm proud to call you my friend even though I haven't met you face to face.
My the Lord Lift YOU up and Bless you each and everyday DAY!
A BIG BEAR HUG 2 YOU ALL!
Donna
Wow Donna, that must be tough, but you have all behaved well, and you will be rewarded for that! When you turn things over to the Lord, He takes care of them and I know you will all be fine in the end!
Hugs to you too!
Janet
gosh how sad is that. I think about that with me and my DH, what if I died young and he just left all my part of the home to his DD and left my kids out of it, that is sad but I must think about my kids because I know that if He died I would remember his half of the house would go to his dd after I died and I would make the kids split atleast his half s apraised value at the time of his death.
Amen,,
Donna, so sorry you are having to deal with this. And how sad that your step mom is cutting herself off from the love and support she could have.....
hugs, Elaine
