Not sure what to say?

Still can see Carl's beautiful smile and loving way with people. A home with Jesus awaits.

Remembering that gorgeous smile and kind ways. And late nights of "42" with us kids staying up late. God bless you Billye and Alita. Carl was a wonderful man!

Billye and Alita,

This is Darlene Salmond writing. I am sitting with my mom and dad, Robert and Rose, and we were talking about vacations in Texas and good times with you. I remember well all the fun with Alita and her friends, and Billye sewing dresses for Alita. At a very young age, I remember Carl and his dark head of hair and thinking how handsome he was. You were always so very kind and hospitable. Our deepest sympathies for your loss. I would love to hear from you...

Billye,
I'm so sorry. I know God is with you and your family, and your faith will keep you strong.

I can see you and Carl playing dominoes in our kitchen in Crane like it was yesterday; Carl smiling and winking at me. That's how I will always remember him. God bless you!
Love,

Ricky Henderson

Billye and Alita,
Yes he did have an awesome head of hair, was one of the 2 best looking men in Crane, and could play a mean game of 42. But these attributes, of course, were nothing compared to his great heart and sweet spirit. We are thinking of you, Billye and Alita and family.
