Carl,
Please know as the wind blows your mother is with you
As the sun shines and kisses your face your mother is with you.
The individual snows flakes that fall on your shoulders means your mother is with you
Carl your mother spirit just like your dad is always with you
I am grateful that I had the pleasure of meeting her because she is so much a part of the man you are today and yes even the young man you were back in middle school.

Sincerely,

Your friend Marlena
