Thank you from the Carter Family

If you are new to the Crossroads community, you might have heard about a loss that the Carter family and our community has had recently with the death of Natalie Carter (an almost 2 year old at the time). The family wanted to thank everyone for their support. The following is from their words:

It's hard to form into words the emotions that have engulfed us over the past 4 1/2 weeks. We've always loved Jesus and Crossroads but never knew how much we needed them both until this tragedy. We continue to go through the daily motions but now cling to the hope and promises of seeing Nati again soon. Our eyes have been opened to look toward heaven and to see the magnificence of it. Our hope is others now see that too and personally know Jesus so they can see Nati and experience her "big hugs".

Thank you is too small of a word for you all to truly understand what you have meant to us. People we don't even know, yet are a part of the body of Christ, have come together and formed the truest definition of "church". Our thanks and gratitude for all the prayers (keep them coming!), cards, food, gifts, etc. Jesus is so proud of you all.

Much love,
Erika, Bryan & Brady Carter

Bryan, I can't imagine the pain that you and your family have suffered over the past few weeks. I just want you to know that we have been praying for you and your family and hope you will receive peace from above.

God bless!

Bryan and Erika, There are no words to adequately express our sympathy. You mean so much to us. You are in our thoughts and prayers. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Love, Jess and Tim
