Dear Karslake Family, I am so sorry to learn of your parents passing. My husband, George, and I knew your dad when he was about 10 yrs old when we moved to Vanderbilt. He grew into a
very good man and later became a good friend to George.
May they both rest in peace.

I love you grandpa, I’m sorry there was not more time I got with you. It was out of my hands. My heart is broke that I never got to know the amazing man you were. Love you always and forever.
