Joan and I offer prayers for the family, Carl was a friend from childhood as were the rest of the Collins family, as a matter of fact Carl and his brothers, along with his dad and mom were all very special to my entire family, we even called each other family. Carl pulled Till and I out of many situations in our teens and I’ll never forget his talent with singing and making music. Rest in peace ole friend you will not be forgotten.
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
With love and hugs to you,Tim, Donnie and rest of the family,
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
So sorry for your loss. All are in my prayers
