Aunt Brenda,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Carl. At least he is not suffering any longer. We are not sure if we will be able to come to visitation on Thursday. It is a long way for us to drive. Please know that you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers. Uncle Carl will be truly missed by all of us.
Much Love,
Kathy, Rodney (Butch) & Thomas Lynn
