"Dear Carter Family My deepest sympathy to you all on the passing of your Mother and Grandmother. She was one of a kind and I have many memories of her that I will never forget (the eggs). She was a part of my life for 38 years and she crosses my mind frequently. May all of you feel the arms of our Lord around you at this time of your grief. Deepest sympathy Jeanne Carter"
"To Jerry Carter; I was so sorry to hear about your mother passing away. My sincere sympathy to you and your entire family. I was just thinking of you the other day as I came across one of our grade school pictures. The only one I'm in touch with is Ron Weitjen on Facebook. I've missed the last two reunions for the class of '65. I see you live in TX now. We travel down to South Padre Island, TX in January. Our home is now in Kalona Iowa 52247, 939 5th St. If you would like to get in touch. Peg Jacobi moved and I've lost contact with her. Things just keep changing! Again, my deepest sympathy. Becky (Core) Swartzendruber I hope you are doing well, Jerry. "
