Dearest Jan and Bob,
My heart is filled with much sorrow as I find out, just today, about Carl's passing. A wonderful husband and father, and a "keeper" as a friend for all who knew him, I'm guessing God needed him for a special reason...perhaps to let other souls enjoy his humor and quick wit! My thoughts and prayers are with you, and, I pray that my great memories of Carl and our "save the world conversations" oh so many eons ago, will help ease the sorrow I now feel. May many happy memories that you both have, bring you peace and comfort always.
God BlessYou Carl! Your suffering is over, Rest in Peace!

Much love,
Rose
