Family and Friends
Now that I've come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low; Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to Jesus whom we know, Laugh at the things we used to do. Miss me, but let me go.
The family of Carolyn A. Grant deeply appreciates and gratefully acknowledges your kind expressions of sympathy. We thank God for her life, your friendship, and for your unconditional love and prayers.

For I am ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. II Timothy 4: 6-8 (KJV)

While there, she became a Certified Home Health Assistant. Ms. Grant was a Christian woman who accepted Christ and was a member of Macedonia A.M.E. United Methodist Church in Charleston.
