Bill, sorry to hear about Deed's death. Ron Harkin told me about it. I remember all the time I spent at your house. The places we went to eat and the movies we saw. They were great times. Mostly I will remember her great smile and laughter. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine on her. May her soul and all the souls rest in peace.

Our sincere condolences to "Deed's" family. She was a special person who always had a smile & kind word when our paths crossed. Ellen Wiedmann was my mother, so we grew up hearing the many stories and fond memories of the Carl family. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.
