Claire, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sorrowful time. Carl was a great man, husband, friend and brother-in-law. He will be missed by many relatives and friends, but especially by you. You were a great caregiver to him right up until the end. I will miss him sitting by my pool in the summer. You know I am here for you for anything you need. Love you always, Maureen
