Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you sharing the moments together In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. When I was younger and Growing up i remember wanting to stay up with the adults and hang around like i was grown lol always so fun & exciting when we would have parties or gatherings carl would make hilarious jokes and keep everyone laughing, I remember him always singing along to music and how he had a hidden talent with his voice hearing him for the first time at billys during a party I ran right up to him in surprise and he picked me up and danced with me, sang along to the music while everyone was saying I need to go back to bed carl sung to me until that song was over first and that meant alot to me I'll never forget that night, he also was the one who taught me how to ride my bike when we lived in skidway and then taught me how to drive my first time getting behind the wheel, I can go on and on but those are the most meaningful memories to me growing up the way our family was and now I'm adult looking back at everything as an adult not understanding then but now that each of my uncles played a huge part in raising me and the things carl taught me or I watched and learned little things he said or did carried with me till this day and before I could even understand I was catching myself doing things he used to and he never knew i gained it from him because I never told him but hes passed on now and with papa, I hope he can see and hear me saying this and know how much of a role he played in my life rather he knew it or not I hope now he will! As the days and weeks pass, and as we return to life's routine, may we continue to feel comforted by the love and support of or family and friends. Carls no longer in pain or suffering through his health conditions he struggled with each an every day, hes walking through paradise strong as could be with papa next to him watching over us until we all meet again. I love you unc xoxo - snort.
