Tamra,
I never had the chance to meet your dad, but enjoyed the many stories you shared with me about him and your family. I'm thinking of you. "In times of sorrow, love heals. May your hearts be touched by the love you have known and the joys you have shared. May you find comfort in knowing that caring, gentle thoughts are with you now."

Mr. Carl! You will be missed by MANY on Bayou Terrace. You were one of the first people we met when we moved here as you walked the street each day. You and Ms. Brenda served on the HOA Board so unselfishly and loved this neighborhood. You are angel above now guiding us and looking over us. Your physical presence will be missed but your spirit will always live ON!
