Dear Cathy, Dave, Trish, Carla, Angel and family,
I have the fondest, brightest and loving memories of my beloved "Godfather", Uncle Carl. My memories are most vivid when spending "many" happy family gatherings in Clifton at his home.
As kids, my sister Mary and I had many fun sleepovers too. I remember attending Sunday mass with him at St. John Cantys where he was a parishioner. I have lit a candle in memory of those indelible days gone by.
Uncle Carl was a kind, soft-spoken, loving and pensive soul with a big heart who was devoted to his family. He was also a most attentive and loving son to his mother, Grandma Mary (R.I.P.) until her departure.
May all of you feel consoled and replenished by God who is now his everlasting caregiver. May Uncle Carl rest in peace, bathed in Gods eternal bliss.
Love and sincerest condolences,
Cousin Susan
