Carol Kyle Chocklett (husband Gary) in Austin Tx and Nell Ashcraft Kyle in Plano TX, nieces of Carl Hopkins and cousins to Loretta and Joretta, send their condolences to all who knew their wonderful loving Uncle Carl. He was so full of life and always had a bright smile and big contagious laugh.
He loved us and all his family and his many friends and all in his ministry. He especially loved Marjorie's Mother, Susie Virginia Aylett Phelps. And that wonderful laughter! I will remember that laugh always and can even hear it now thinking of him. Both Carl and Marjorie were so much to so many of us, and Heaven has gained another beautiful sparkling Soul to shine their love from above.
Thank you for being in our lives and leaving lasting loving memories.
