Read MoreGrandpa, Fifteen years have gone by so fast, we think of you constantly, talk to you often, and miss you everyday. Grandma joined you two months ago and it still doesn't feel real.

Grandpa, I miss you terribly. I so wish you could have met Adalyn. I know that you kissed her brow before she came into this world. I know that you watch over us all. You were there with grandma when she fell and with mama during her own time of need. Please continue to keep us in your arms and embrace. We love you and talk of you often

Betty and family,
I just found out that Mel passed away from an old friend of my father. My dad, Jack Hardke, and Mel use to golf together many years ago. My father has been gone now for 7 years. Maybe they are golfing again! I am sorry for your loss.

I will always cherish the visits to Ohio and staying with Grandpa & Grandma Carlson. I'm blessed to have received warmth and love when becoming a part of the Carlson family. Grandpa will be in my thoughts. Jacob will always remember the trips to Grandpa Carlson's house. We love you.

RIP Grandpa you will be forever in our hearts and will be missed. I know you will be up in heaven with the angles looking down on Daniel and I as we raise John. I only wished he had the chance to meet you because you two would have loved each other. I will forever share your memory with him and he will always know you love him. We love you very much and you will forever be a memory to us.
