My deepest sympathy to Larry and the rest of the family. I have so many memories of Carroll and Janice. Terri was my best friend all through school and even after. They took me into their home at a time when i didn't feel I was wanted by anyone. They treated me just like one of their own kids. So much of my childhood was spent at their house.A couple of years ago when my sister passed Carroll was one of the Legion members who did her military rights. I was so happy to see him, and he knew who I was immediately. Gave me the biggest hug. Much love and prayers for peace to all. Rest peacefully, Mr. Ernst.
