Aunt Pat, Tony, and Monica, I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Carlton always brought a smile to my face. I remember spending a part of my summer vacation with you when I was just a child. I remember hanging out and listening to stories of the past that Uncle Carlton always seemed to have. I will miss him dearly but I know he is in a better place now. God Bless.
