Aunt Jan, David, and Karen,
It's never time to,say goodbye, for now, to a husband or father. But God promises to reunite us in His Kingdom, in His time. God keeps his promises. Uncle Skip's qualities, such as loving, caring, compassion, humor, faithfulness, and gracefulness to name a few, will live on in some part by anyone whoever had the pleasure of knowing him. We will all miss him terribly, yet cherish his memories forever. Love you all.

Dear Janice, Karen and family,
Deepest sympathy on Carl's death. He was a wonderful guy and will be dearly missed. It was great fun working with him as pianist for 14 Kiwanis Kapers shows.
