Dearest Barbara, Judy and Marsha,
I am so sorry for your loss. You three girls must feel like you have spent a life time laying your family to rest. Won't it be such a family reunion when you are all together again one day! Praise God for his saving grace! I am so sorry that I can't be there for you during this difficult time. I am unable to attend because of my work demands and deadlines this week.
I wanted to share a couple of my most precious memories of your Dad. I will never forget Uncle Carl's soft spoken sense of humor and the love he and Aunt Gert poured out to me when I visited as a little girl... or the early morning breakfasts when I sat in his lap sipping coffee while he sang "Tina, Maria, SusieQ"(I even think he sang it as TinaMarinaSusieQ) ha! Life seemed happier and alot more simple then. I also will never forget my 40th birthday weekend when Aunt Gert and Uncle Carl drove over to Mississippi to have the seafood buffet with us. I felt very special because Aunt Gert said Uncle Carl wouldn't leave Covington for just anybody. I guess we are the elders now. We have a duty to our families to share our memories of love and happiness as well as make our own special memories that will be life long lessons that they will hold dear. I love and miss all of you so much... God Bless you. Tina
