Dear Bishop Carder,
May God bless you and keep you close throughout these days.  May you know the still small voice of God whispering in the wind grace and peace. May your family find peace and comfort in these days as friends surround you in love and prayers - even from a distance.  For your journey with Linda lovingly shared and the wonderful words of tribute remembering Linda's long life of leadership through service and faithfulness is an inspiration and encouragement.   May the gentle parent of all hold you extra close in this time.

Sheri, Sandra, Mr. Carder and extended family,  My heart goes out to each of you.  Keeping you in my prayers during this transition.  I have been blessed to read about your family’s journey through the past several years.  Reading of the love story of Mr. and Mrs. Carder as well as the girls and their Mom over the years was beautiful.  Praying for peace and comfort while rejoicing in the fact that you will all be reunited one day.  Much love to all of you.

It’s been a few years ago now, but I do remember sitting with Mrs Carder at dinner and then that evening, I preached for the Tennessee Annual Conference as Bishop Carder’s guest. 

Then more recently I joined in with the many around the world who sat with Ms Linda through Bishop’s Facebook postings.  

The two of them became my teachers on how to attend to “what is of ultimate concern”.  Faith. 

Him, waiting for her to “return” as he combed her hair and said “I love you”.  And then I cried with joy the days she “returned” even for a moment and said to him “there you are!” or “you are wonderful!” or “I love you!” or the day they both had communion and the day they both said the Lord’s Prayer 
so many Holy moments!

Thankyou Linda and Bishop for allowing me to sit with you and your family through this amazing and trying journey.
I owe you. I love you.

May God’s amazing grace comfort and strengthen you during these difficult days.


May God's love, mercy and grace be with all the family in the loss of Mrs. Carder, wife, mother, grandmother and mother-in-law.  Love and prayers.  W. Glenn Hill, former Secretary of the Memphis Conference, retired Elder.

Bishop  Carder, you and your family have my sincere thoughts and prayers as you celebrate Linda’s life of love and service.
