Dear Betty,

I have been thinking about you and Carl all summer. Finally I went to the Observer Obits and learned that you had lost Carl in March. I am happy for the time you had together and for all the doors you opened for each other. Can you sing barbershop vocals yet. No doubt you can.

All my love,

Gaile Patrick

Dear Betty,
Barbara has told us what a wonderful celebration you had at Christ Episcopal for Carl and afterwards. I'm glad to know that you are surrounded by family and good friends to help you learn to live again. I'm sorry for your loss.

It is so comforting to read all of these lovely things about my father from many whom I have never met. He was a wonderful man with a warm and loving heart who could do and would do anything for anybody. He will be missed by so many of us. Our love and thoughts go to Betty and the rest of our family and friends who will feel the great void which has been left with his passing. May he rest in peace. With much love, Teresa - his youngest daughter.

Betty,

I am so sorry for your loss. I was blessed to have had the chance to work with Carl at The Scottish Bank. He was one of the most upbeat, happy employees that we ever had. I valued his ideas, advice and, especially, his humor over the many years that we worked together.

Carl was a joy and wonderful part of our family. You two have been such a fun-loving pair and a delight for me to know and admire in my first 31 years. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours, Betty. May his humor and charm continue to shine brightly on all of us.
