I sincerely would like to offer my heartfelt sympathy to Pastor Charlotte, in the death of her precious brother Carl. He truly loved her and she truly loved him. May God continue to comfort you and the family during your time of bereavement and know that Hebrews 4:16 states “Let us come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in the time of need.”
Why can’t we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together ? I guess that wouldn’t work .Someone would leave . Someone always leaves . Then we would just have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need I need more hellos. —Charles M. Schulz So friend I will just say so long until we meet again. Carl I will always think of you as one perpetually cool dude who always made me smile. Oh and you would eat anything , I was always giving you snacks. I know you have found the cool corner of heaven probably hangin with Elvis and Jimi Hendrix shooting pool . Much love to Karen and family ! Jann Weedy
Jann you always like Jimi Hendrix,
