It is with heavy hearts that we, the Hyslop/Rossum family offer our condolences to the Sorjonen family for your loss of Karl. Unfortunately, it brings to mind other times when our families have joined in grieving over similar losses. On the brighter side, it also conjures up more favourable memories of our times throughout more than four decades of friendship. Yes, it is hard to believe how time flies. We must strive to focus on the happiness brought to this world by simply knowing Karl. His life was taken far too soon, but his memory will live on in our hearts.
Wishing you the best than can be in such trying times.
