    We were so sorry to hear of Carl’s passing. He was a sweet, Christian man whose positive attitude and determination in the face of challenges, was admirable. Although we are unable to attend the services; our thoughts, respect and prayers are with his family and loved ones. May they all find comfort in knowing he knew the Lord and is in his hands.
