To Gertrude, Dave and Entire Terheyden Family



We met Carl on a cruise to Mexico in October of 2000. It was the most wonderful time for us getting to know Carl. The memories we made and times we shared will be forever in our hearts.

I am glad that I got to know Carl the man, as well as Carl the musician. He was both a dedicated family man as well as Band member. You were an inspiration to many, Carl, and I'll always remember you for what you called me, "toots"!

Nina Terheyden

Dad,

It truly was an honor to be your daughter in law. I will never forget all the beautiful times we have shared. Our child will hear about his/her grandpa Carl and all the wonderful things about you. I love you and I'll see you again someday.

Dad, you will always be my dearest father-in-law and I will never forget you. You were always so kind and generous whenever I needed to talk to you or needed you to do something for me. I enjoyed all our times together, going on vacations, especially to Reno and Tahoe, especially everytime Ray and I relocated, you and mom were always there to help us out. These will be cherished memories always. Rest in peace. I love you Dad, Leslie Ann
