"Precious in the Sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints" ~Psalm 116:15 My condolences to the fine family that Carl and Lillian raised.
These people knew their God. Lillian is reunited with Carl again, and she really missed him, and both are very young again in the Presence of The Lord. They were great neighbors, church leaders and engaged mentors to us when we started out over 40 years ago, and we'd seek them out when we'd return to Painesville. They were among the finest people we've ever met.
