Paslay Family,
This news broke my heart. Your family has always been there for me. Great neighbors and friends. Growing up in Lecompton makes classmates more like added cousins. Carl was such a sweet guy. I think of all the metals on his letter jacket. I always admired his tenacity and grit in track. Running his hardest and collapsing at the finish line. Laughing with the guys in high school. Always kind to everyone.
I pray at this time that each of you will find peace in your hearts-knowing that one day you will be reunited with him.
This is not goodbye, this is see you later. Rest in peace my friend.
