A distant cousin, I never knew you. I was told of how your death deeply affected your mother. I asked for this memorial as a sign of respect I have for all listed here. A sacrifice to make a small part of the world a better place for someone other than yourselves. A sacrifice that runs deeper than the death of one person. A sacrifice that lingers and is never forgotten. Rest well, Carl.
