Kristy, I know we have never been close, but there are many fun memories of you and Carl from our Handy Way days growing up. Kristy, I really can't remember you without Carl. You guys have been together since High School and are a true testament to forever love. I enjoyed keeping up with you all when I was on Facebook and Carl would sometimes comment nice words on my family as well. He was always a very nice guy and I am so sorry for your loss. I know that there are no words to ever make this easier on you. My heart goes out to you and Kam. If you need anything please don't hesitate to reach out. My thoughts and prayers are with you girls!
