Karl Rapp Obituary

Karl Rapp Aug. 13, 1931-April 18, 2006 Dear Karl, today would have been your 83rd birthday. Rather than mourn the absence of your flame, I am rejoicing and celebrating how brightly it glowed and touched so many hearts; especially mine. I miss your beautiful mischievous blue eyes, and I thank you for teaching me to live life to the fullest each day and to take care of others and always be true to one's self. You have left your footprint on my heart. You are loved and missed every day. "Froggie", Happy Birthday! Love and butterfly kisses and hummingbird hugs, auf wiedersehen, Edie. ------------------------------------ Karl Rapp Aug. 13, 1931-April 18, 2006 Dear Karl - Happy 83rd Birthday. Today we celebrate you and thank you for leaving us your legacy of love, laughter and devotion to those of us who were blessed to have shared great moments of life with you. Our memories of you shine as brightly as your beautiful blue eyes and generous heart. Thank you for being the last to anger and the first to forgive, and for your unconditional love. You are loved and missed every day. Our love for you will live on forever. Love and hugs, your friends, adopted families, Ross, and your loving stepmother, Trudy.
