We are so sorry for you and Kolton's loss. Cancer us so indiscriminate. We'd wanted to send a card which would be much more eloquent in its words than we can be. Unfortunately we didn't have your address. We'll be thinking of you and supporting you in prayer especially tomorrow as you say your final goodbyes. Uncle Walt and Aunt Sandra
Karl, Your Dad phoned us to tell us of the sad passing of your wife, JoAnn. Although we did not know her and haven't seen you for a number of years we felt your parents sadness and wish to extend our sincere sympathy to you Karl, and your little boy Kolton. May God give you comfort and His peace at this sad time. Nellie and Wally
