         You came into my life on September 13, 1996, we fell in love with each other. You were my soulmate and my best friend. You had your mishaps, and you did try to get your life together. You were a hard-working man through your full-time job and doing yard work for my cousin and helping me taking care of my mother when she had a stroke. My cousin and my mother loved you.

I will miss you eternally and you will always be in my heart.

Love you, Karl
