Jean and Jeff ... my deepest sympathies at the loss of your loved one. It's so hard to lose someone you love, and though words can't take away the sadness you feel I hope it helps to remember that he is in God's care. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Jean, We are in Canada and just this AM able to get on line.
Carl was a true friend for many,many years and I will miss his wit and friendship.
This notice was a shock as Carl was at breakfast in Greenfield not long ago and did not mention any health problems.
We will keep you in our prayers and I will call you a little later.
