In Loving Memory Of A Wonderful Person

May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Father Carlo was a wonderful friend who my husband and I had the pleasure of knowing for over fifteen years. We took care of his chiropractic needs and our friendship flourished from there. He always attended our daughter's choir performances (Charlotte Children's Choir) for many years and was a close friend to my mother. I always looked forward to his Christmas cookies and remember his love for Italian cooking. We just learned of his passing; and will miss him dearly.
Take comfort knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
Most Sincerely,
Drs. Scott & Linda Hartsell

Sincere condolences to Father Tarasi's family and his religious family. I remember Carli very well because I lived around the block from him in Harrisburg and was friends with his sister Judy. I knew he left the Diocese of Harrisburg and only saw him once after his ordination as he celebrated a Mass at our home parish of St. Francis of Assisi. He found his true calling and ministry in various parts of the United States and I am sure he will be remembered by all those he served so faithfully.

I am sorry for your loss. It is always hard to lose a loved one in death. Our heavenly Father is very aware and understands the pain you feel. He will give you comfort. (Psalms 86:6,7) Your family has my deepest sympathy.
