Dock and Verda Nance, and girls, are sorry for your loss of Carroll. May God give comfort to you .
There are so many memories. Here's one of them. I got my first and only burn on my leg from the exhaust when I went riding on a motorbike with Carroll. I was only 8-9 yrs old in 1967-68. I never let him forget it. He felt so bad about it. Going to miss our talks, text and joking back & forth. My heart breaks for all of us. Patricia Smith Schilling
Family and friends please know that our Creator, Almighty God, can comfort you (Isaiah 51:12): And that all of the wonderful promises found in Gods Word will come true (Isaiah 25:8-9, Revelation 21:4).

Carroll was an amazing grandpa , he's forever my hero . i looked up to him . i remember the last time i was with him was just last week … before he left to go back to Texas we sit and watched WWE Showdown together . we'd always watch that together . when i was very little about 3-4 years old i went down to my papaws house for a while and visited my papaw and grandma . i would play with their chickens while sitting on their swing chair thingy lol . and when i got older and he got his motorcycle he took me on rides when he came down to visit :)) . i miss those days so very much ! it feels like just yesterday i was hugging him before he got into his truck and left …. our last words were "i love you" im so happy he told me that before he went to see grandma in heaven :)) still honestly can't wrap my head around him being actually gone …. but i guess he was ready to see grandma … i love you papaw … please look down on me and promise me you'll keep me safe :)) tell grandma i said hi :))
Hey papaw, I understand you can’t really type back and stuff but I just wanted to let you know that you were an amazing grandfather. I miss you every single day, so much that I even start seeing and hearing you everywhere. Just like dad does.. It gets hard sometimes.. You know, without you here. There’s so much that I wish you could be here for.. Like when i get married, have kids, etc. Wish you were still here holding me, cutting up jokes about Trump lol. Feels like just yesterday you were walking out my front door telling me you loved me & would see me soon.. Can’t believe i lost both you and grandma, all I have left is memories. But that’s not good enough for me. It never is. I wanna be able to continue making more memories and not think of all the ones in the past.. I miss you, & you’re still here somehow. Still waiting for that phone call papaw.. Please come back to me.. I don’t want you to be gone.. It’s too soon.. I Love You! Forever.. I Pinky Promise..
He was such a kind hearted man, not a bad bone in his soul. He left all of us to soon, but I felt like he was ready to see his wife again which is understandable. She passed away to soon also. I know that he is still watching over all the people he has cared about over the years. Keeping us safe and keeping dangers away from us. He watching everyone accomplish their goals and making sure we get the best that the world has to offer us. Watching us succeed at everything, knowing that we have it in us to do so. Believing in us as we take on life. After two years without him in our lives now still hurts but the pain will still linger on now matter what, no matter how long he’s gone. But he knows that we will be just fine, because we all know he is in a better place. Without the pain. Without the struggles he was going through. He was ready. He was. We will forever love this man. Forever and Always.
