So very sorry for your loss. Carlin was a brave warrior against an evil beast. Happy that he is at peace but my heart aches for the family/friends that are grieving. Please know that Carlin and his family has many loving friends that are here to support you as you journey on without his presence for a while. I know in my heart though that his spirit is right beside you.
Sending my condolences to those who knew and loved Carlin. I met him when he and his wife were visiting their beloved granddaughter, Ashley Ames, in California. I was immediately struck by his kindness; he greeted me with an open heart. I know the world was a better place with him in it. My thoughts are with the Ames' and also with lovely wife.
