We extend our love and sympathy to Jean and family. We were shocked to read of Carl's death in the Evening Sun Online.
Carl was a neighbor and 'older' friend to me (Carol), when we both lived in East Berlin, back in the '50's.
May God surround you with the peace and comfort that only He can give, during this difficult time.
In His love, Joe & Carol (Miller) Fretz
