Dear Imogene & family, We are so sad to hear about Carl's passing. You and your family are in our prayers. Imogene, we did not know about Carl until this morning's paper arrived. No one called us from Colonial Heights Methodist Church to let us know about Carl. He will be missed. He was a good Christian man. Love, Fred & Betty Meyer & family
