A Prayer for a Loving Mother:
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the life of Carlon and for the love she gave as a mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Thank You for every lesson she taught, every sacrifice she made, and every life she touched. May the love she poured into her family continue to live through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Lord, comfort her family as they mourn her passing. Give them strength during the difficult days and peace in knowing that she is now resting safely in Your loving arms. May her memory forever be a blessing and may the love she planted in her family continue to grow for generations to come.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
