Dear Terri,
Although I never met your dear husband Carmello, from reading several other condolence messages, it comes through loud and clear what a fine gentleman he was. His love for his family, his extended family and his friends was admirable. You enjoyed many years together and now you have many fond memories to give you the strength to live each day knowing he is at rest in the hands of our good Lord. May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy.

Carl supplied our Calamus Estates neighborhood with many good memories. He was a friend to all and a happy guy. I remember how he would always have a joke or two to share and he enjoyed our activities at the Community Center. RIP good neighbor.

Terri Carl will be so missed. He was Calamus Estates. He always had a nice word for everyone and a good joke. Ed and I pray that you will find the peace of Jesus and remember only all the good times. As I look back and count the neighbors that have lived here longer than us(18 yrs) the number keeps dwindling. We look forward to seeing you out and about as spring comes once again. You are truly in our prayers.
