I only briefly knew Uncle Carlos from Myneeka/Ernest’s wedding, but it was clear to me that he was one of those great people that would’ve been nice to know better. I hope memories of the good times you’ve had with him can lessen your pain.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with Carlos. He was a wonderful person. Always made me laugh.
I’m so sorry for such a great loss. I remember him working on my old cars when I couldn’t afford to put it in the shop. He will be missed. Lynell, we just talked with you a couple months ago for an update. My deepest sorrow for the Brother and Sisters.
