Cathy, I am sorry to hear about Carl. It seems like yesterday he was calling you at work and saying you were out driving your "truck". He always made me smile. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless.

Cathy,
My heart goes out to you and your families. I have great memories of our days as being neighbors in Kingsmill. We were the only two couples in our group, which lived in Burwell's Glen. I remember first meeting you two at the furniture store when you two still lived in D.C. Carl had such a great smile and I know he adored you. I wish you well and my thoughts will be with you this year while you mourn your loss.
Take care
