   It was an honor to meet and know Carson. My deepest condolences to your family. I must admit, I am thrilled for Carson that he was able to go be with the Lord on the day that we celebrate Christ's birth, and that he gets to be with Jonathan.

   Joel, Becky, Michael and Isaac, and Evelyn: we are so very sorry about your dad, husband and grandpa. You gave him the greatest gift possible the last month of his life and that was family. Being able to be at the farm with all of you was a wonderful way to finish the life he had on this earth. Now on the the next great adventure. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we will be there in spirit on Saturday.

   Love, Sue and Robb
