Elaine, our condolences to you and your family. I will always remember Carl, as he was the one that I first met that had a lung transplant. He looked at me and said "don't let anyone change your mind about the transplant, you deserve another chance at life." I will always remember that and his warm smile and kind words. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
