Jane and Carl, I’m am so very very sorry to read about the passing of Earl. I know he had not been feeling well for a while and went through some very tough times. He is at peace now and that hopefully gives you comfort. Please give my sympathy to all the other family members.
You wrote a lovely obituary for about him. I had not known about all the different things that full filled his life.
I send my deepest prayers and thoughts with all of you at this very difficult time.
GOD BLESS YOU all and celebrate his life.
With love, Kitty
