Angie, Christine, Junior, and Wes,
I am SO sorry for your loss. I know by very recent experience that there is NO way to understand why this is happening. There is no way to explain the grief or emptiness you feel. PLEASE know it will get easier, I did not believe that for a VERY long time. My love is with you guys and the rest of the family. I will always remember sweet Carl from family birthday parties, dinners, etc. I unfortunately have not seen him in a few years, but will always remember his great demeaner, he was definately a happy child to be around. I truly love you guys and again am sorry to all family and friends.
