Karen and Family,
We often think of Carl, usually with a big smile on our face...because we always laughed together! He is looking down on all of us and still sharing in our adventures.
Love,
Wanda, Roy, and Kindall

Well it's hard to believe it's been almost a year since I lost one of my best friends. I still feel very sad at times and miss him dearly as I know you all do too. But then something hits me on top of my head and I realize it's Carl sending down a little bit of sarcasm and picking on me still. It's then that I realize he's watching us all and still chuckling under his breath like he always did ! I'll miss him always. Mary

Well after 3 weeks I still don't believe it. You all know how much we loved Carl and although we picked on each other constantly we always understood our love for one another. We love you guys too and I hope you know that we are ALWAYS here with hearts and prayers for you. I can't help but believe he, Allen and Bill are all up there catching up on old times ! That's how I can make sense of this and bring a smile to my face. I hope it will do the same to you.

Karen, April and family, I just wanted you to know how much Karl will be missed. I always enjoyed getting together the gang and Karl sure had a way of making things fun - laughter was always around when he was in the room. Those will always be my memories of Karl. My prayers are with you and your family.
