R Rita Mandell on Jan 14, 2021

I cannot remember a childhood vacation that did not include Carl. Our families did everything together. Even every Sunday in the spring and summer after church we went somewhere. Carl was always our entertainment. Always happy, nothing bothered him even if it meant he got into trouble, he just laughed it off. Will laugh forever over the night he broke the bed jumping on it while singing to the height of his voice. Adulthood did not change him, no matter what pain he endured he always had a happy smile for you when you talked to him. He had a way of welcoming you that you felt the welcome. I know right now between Carl, his mom, and mine heaven is laughing a lot harder. Love your cuz Rita
