Dearest Friends,

Thanks for a great day yesterday. Your presence made it easier to remember Karl the way we should. I hope I can always remember, even through grief, the beautiful things he gave us and the powerful things he taught us.

Among many gifts, he gave us each other, and showed us the importance of being together. Whether in person, online, on the phone, or just in thoughts and prayers, Karl always held his family and friends close. I know he's in your hearts now, just as you are all in mine.

With love and gratitude for all your support this past year,
Yours,
jes
