Aunt Helen and Family,

Just wanted you to know that I have been thinking about you today. Uncle Carl was a favorite uncle. His kind and gentle ways reminded me so much of my dad. We love you - I have been thinking of the heavenly reunion of our Grandma Nygaard, and my parents, and countless others. I so appreciate gospel truths that help us to find some peace at these times.
We send our prayers,
Chad & Raelyn Merrell and families

Helen and family, I want to share with you my love and prayers at this time in the passing of a very special kind and loving angel, your husband and father, Carl. I always appreciated his friendliness and ready handshake when I was new to the Spokane 7th ward and in the temple. Love you always, Catherine Nelson
