I am Sister Pearl Fields (Bradley's) granddaughter, Jeri. Carl and Gloria used to pick me up and take me to their church when we moved out of my grandparent's home in the 60s. Sister Fields (Mamo) was the minister at that time. When I first met Carl, he was not saved. God and Gloria never gave up on him, and eventually he began to attend church with us. Look how God used him all thru his life! Carl, you and Gloria bore 3 children, and have 6 grands and 6 greats! Your legacy will live on through each one of them! I am so grateful for those times you carried me to church........My grandmother loved you both very much. I remember Gloria had the voice of an angel when she sang in church. Carl, you always made me laugh. Those memories are forever in my heart. Gloria I am so very sorry for your loss. I am also sorry we lost touch over the years. God bless and keep you, Gloria.

Carl, I remember how you used to make us all laugh! Those memories are stored forever in my heart. Gloria, I am so very sorry for your loss......I know he is missed.
