Evidence of his devout spirituality was expressed in the way he treated others. He spoke kindly of people and wished them the very best. Carlie was deeply contemplative and highly intelligent. We could always count on him to be the voice of reason. His ever-present thoughtfulness and humility brought ease to others. Carlie overflowed with unsung love.
Thank you, Carlie, for allowing our family to share many wonderful years with you. You are in our hearts. We love you deeply, and will miss you greatly.
