When someone we love falls asleep in death the memories we have of them become our treasure, may those cherished memories of a life well lived and Gods promise at John 6:40 bring you a measure of comfort. My condolences to the family.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy; I am so sorry for your great loss. May Isaiah 61:1,2 which reads in part " the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. While visiting Gail and Brian I enjoyed several conversations with Karl, one being lifelong Auburn fans. Karl was always such a kind and interesting man and I feel very blessed to have known him.
God bless the family in this difficult time.
