Sweet Ebony Carter

Sweet Carter Obituary Live Stream | Live Cask A TIME TO BE BORN Sweet Ebony Carter, affectionately known as Noon to her family and friends was born September 5, 1985 to Verna (Dot) Thompson and Albert (Sweet) Carter in Cleveland, Ohio. Sweet was preceded in death by her father Albert J Carter; grandfathers James Carter and Herman Carter; siblings; Al (Shon) Bush, James Albert Carter II and Mark Bush; uncles Bob Carter, Amos Carter and Fred Carter; cousins Marlene (Kecia) Hancock; Melvin (Fella) Ephraim Jr. In her early years it was evident that she would be a reflection of her given name chosen by her parents. The name (Sweet) was a nickname carried by her dad all of his life which also symbolizes kindness, thoughtfulness and caring. The name (Ebony) was chosen as it described her dark, rich skin tone. It is also a representation of power, purity, balance and protection which she fully embodied. She inherited these characteristics and carried them into adulthood while embracing and displaying those same qualities as a servant to those she came in contact with. A TIME TO SERVE Sweet was a very humble person who loved the Lord and accepted Christ into her life at an early age. She was a woman of integrity and great character. She attended the Cleveland Public School System where she graduated from Life Skills School. Sweet was employed with Aloft in Cleveland until her passing. She was a fashion extraordinaire and had her own sense of style. Some of you may not have known that Sweet explored modeling and even participated in several fashion shows as well as photo shoots. Her love for fashion was even evident as a child and she even designed some of own clothes. Sweet was very laid back and easy to get along with. Her love for her family and friends was shown by the encouraging daily texts she would send. She enjoyed singing, dancing, styling hair and cooking for her family and friends. Sweet and her sister Christine loved going to Coopers Hawk and the pop-up shops on the weekends. One of her great joys in life was spending time with her nieces and nephews and taking care of her Granny Gran, as well as, others. She also shared a special relationship with her brother-in-law Darnell whom she called her brother-in-love. If you truly knew Sweet you would know what a beautiful person she was inside and out with a kind spirit and that million dollar smile which lit up the room. Everyone who met her couldn’t help but to fall in love with her. She will truly be missed, not only by her family, but all the lives she touched. A TIME TO DIE During Sweet’s hospital stay, her immediate family was blessed to be able to surround her with love in the midst of this pandemic and the restrictions it brought. God blessed many of us to speak to her one last time whether it was via facetime, telephone or text. She had already communicated with the father and knew her time was near. That last communication was in some way to prepare us. We are grateful the Lord allowed her to bless our lives for 35 years. On April 18, 2021 God said Daughter, it’s time. The Lord said take my hand and follow me to your new home. It is located on an exclusive estate behind a beautiful Pearly Gate where the streets are paved with gold and every day will be Sunday. To my family and friends, please be advised that I have moved and this is my change of address. I am in much better place than any other place I have lived. There is peace, joy, happiness, no more crying, pain, pills, or doctors; only sweet serenity. I don’t have a telephone, cell phone or email, but you can always call on God to reach me. If you don’t know his number, read your bible, it’s listed on every page. Before I go, though, let me leave you with my new address.

Family Poems Mother to Daughter Missing You So Much Daughter You left me broken-hearted Not knowing what to do, But now I find such comfort In memories of you The legacy you left me Was of happiness and love, And that shines on forever From the glorious skies above You brought joy and beauty From the moment of your birth, Now in Heaven you’re an angel Just as you were on earth. Love Always Mama Dot From sister to sister To My Sister I’m blessed to call you sister, I also call you friend; You’ve loved me unconditionally, And stood through thick and thin. You’ve shared my joys and sorrows, My laughter and my tears. You’ve been my inspiration, As we grew up through the years. When we were little children We laughed and played together; Then growing up you stood by me, Through good and stormy weather. There’s something God has given us, That’s more than family; He’s placed a love for you, my Sister, Deep down in the heart of me. Love Always Little Big Sister (Christine) Scrups Grandmother to Granddaughter Granddaughter Your life was a blessing, Your memory is a treasure. You are loved beyond words, You will be missed beyond measure. Hugs & Kisses Grandma Chris My Granddaughter In Heaven I hold you close in memory Even though we are now apart, Your spirit will live forever Within my broken heart. My heart still aches in sadness And secret tears still flow For what it meant to lose you No one will ever know. In Heaven we shall meet again Where farewell is never spoken, We shall clasp each other Hand in Hand And the clasp shall never be broken I’ll miss you my Noonie Girl Love Always Granny-Gran From Aunts & Uncles to Sweet Without Warning You left us without warning, For some of us not even a good-bye And we can’t seem to stop, Asking the question why? We didn’t see this coming, It hit us by surprise, and when you left for Heaven A small part of us died Your smile could brighten anyone’s day No matter what they were going through, And every day for the rest of our lives, We’ll be missing you. Missing you already & Loving you more Your Aunts and Uncles From Bonus Mom to Sweet Daughter I thought of you today, But that is nothing new. I thought of you yesterday, And will tomorrow too. I think of you in silence, And make no outward show. For what it meant to lose you, Only those who love you know. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day. It’s the heartache of losing you, That will never go away. Love Always & Forever Mama Evelyn From Sweet to the family For Those I Have Left Behind I have not gone far. I still see those tears you shed for me. I am not unhappy, I am not sad, I just thank God for all we had I did not choose to go away, but God told me I couldn't stay He reached for me with loving care and said come with me if you dare Reach out your arms to those below, blow them a kiss so they will know I'm touching you from far above, sending you all my love Now dry your eyes and remember me, for where I am was meant to be To you that I have left behind, the love we've shared will always bind If a breeze should pass across your face, remember it's me with mercy and grace Until we meet again one day, I am just a prayer away With All My Love Noon FAMILY LEGACY POEM The Broken Chain We did not know that morning God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly; In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories; Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You’re always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, THE CHAIN will link again. Humbly Submitted by the Family To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Sweet Ebony Carter, please visit our floral store.
