Last night my brother called to let me know my dad (Lobel Alva Carlton) had collapsed from a massive heart attack yesterday afternoon. When I called the hospital, they let me know that he passed away at 9:53 p.m. Central time. I am on my way to Houston, with a funeral likely this weekend.
My family and I prayed for my dad last night - that he might find the peace he longed for, that he might be with his mom and dad, that his rest is sweet and filled with hope.
I was just checking on some of the older family members history,since my dad passed away aug,14,, 2006 .O.S.CARLTON3.I feel like I need to educate my children and grandchildren on there familes heritageI assume O.S.CARLTON SR. was your grandfather.He is my great grandpa

Give rest, O Christ, to your servant with your saints; where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting.

May He surround you all with His presence, may his unendending love bring you to a place of peace...knowing your Dad is in a place where pain and suffering are no more, where tears are wiped away...where Jesus calls him to feast and rest with him. May you all be lifted up. Shalom...Ron+
