Nancy, Lisa/Steve, Beth/Peter and Jim/Allison:
I was so shocked when Vern told me about Carl's passing. My heart was broken. We were all with tears when I told my wife and daughter. Carl was so good a person and I always talked about him and remembered my stay in your house and the good time I worked with him. I tried hard but did get Jim's contact. I found this place to give my deepest condolences to you all. I will miss Carl forever!
