Cardia Anthony Carroll Phillip O. Berry

Cardia, You won’t remember the day we found out that the Lord was blessing us with a son. Knowing that you would enter the world in just a few months made our hearts leap with such joy and anticipation of your arrival. You won’t remember the day the doctor told us that there was a 50/50 chance that you would enter with this world with down syndrome. However, we did not believe what the doctor said, we trusted and believed God, and you came to us just fine.

You won’t remember the way we proudly watched you everywhere we went, how you lit up a room, and how you interacted with others. You were always the most beautiful boy in the room. You won’t remember the nights of us kissing you on your forehead and praying over you, asking God to cover you and make you the man He wants you to be.

You won’t remember the way our hearts broke and grew a little e bigger each time you passed a milestone, watching the sand fall through the hourglass while feeling overjoyed witnessing you expand and grow. You won’t remember, but we will, and we’ll hold these memories in our hearts for a lifetime. Cardia, we could not be more proud of you...you make our hearts smile. Your kind heart and willingness to succeed will take you beyond what you could ever imagine.

Keep God first and watch Him move in your life…the best is yet to come! We love you beyond words…OUR ONLY SON! With gratitude to your existence,,

Daddy and Mommy

When I call you BEAUTIFUL, it is not just because of what is on the surface. You and your sister are two of the most beautiful gifts a mother can ask for. Is it your quick wit? Is it your laughter in the middle of the night when you’re suppose to be sleep, or is it your smile that melts our hearts? It’s all that and your compassion for others. It’s your heart when you are passionate about wanting to make a change in the world. It is all of you Dena, and I Love You For That!!! Congratulations on being one of the Few and Proud Top Students of Charlotte. You worked hard, and you deserve it!!!

HERE’S TO YOU MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. LOVE MOMMY In the early days as a toddler, she seemed to pick up things very quickly.

Once in grade school she questioned me about homework. I explained to her as well as I could, but most of the time SHE was correct. In high school she really showed her brilliance with straight A’s. If something needs to be explained to her, you better be on point, or she will question it. Again, she was right most of the time. With this brilliance, she deserves all the Accolades coming her way.

Your PaPa, Eddie B. Mitchell Edena Mitchell is an amazing individual. She has strived and always tried to be the best at whatever she puts her mind to. Whether it be for leisure or about her academics, she prioritizes what’s more valuable for her future. I can’t wait to see what success she achieves in the future.
