To my Cousin, Sonya , my Cousin, Carl's sole surviving sibling, and to Carl's beloved wife Kathie, and daughter, Carla, I send my heart and prayers to you during this time of sorrow, today and into all of the tomorrows.
Carl sent me periodic notes while I was serving in South East Asia during the Viet Nam War, and continued to do so as I was challenged in other world conflicts including Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom. His love, honor and support has always present in my life even though we seldom verbally spoke.
It is his stature, his smile that is as wide as the mighty world oceans, and his unique voice, I shall ever remember, and his love of family and country will be forever revered.
Please find comfort in knowing that Carl now joins his father, Norman, his mother, Marguerite, and his sister, Carol, on his Uncle Hugo's and Aunt Donna's great sailboat in the sky. No doubt his father and mine are planning a prank to pull on him as soon as his strength returns from his long journey into the heavens. I wish we could all be privy to the chatter....one day we all will.
With all my love, Cousin Donna Louise
