Truly a dedicated servant of God, had a great family that worshiped her. She was one of the kindest people that I have ever met. Praying for the family at this time but she is now with a new body with no more sickness and hurting and am sure that she is having a great time with those who have passed on before.

I worked with Mrs. Carte for many years at The Fayette Tribune, and she was truly one of God's most faithful children -- caring, kind, and a truly good friend. I have missed her since I moved away. I pray God's peace for her family, but I know she is rejoicing with her Savior and finally free of pain. Praise God.
