[Moo] Idea to remember Karl

[TheWolfhou at aol.com]

Greetings friends,
    Yes, it was a large surprise as I  was returning from a call yesterday, 
to get a call from Susan Grant  that Karl was in the hospital in a coma and not 
expected to come out of it. My  pardner for the day was agreeable that we 
would head straight for the hospital,  and dispatch could call us there if we had 
another call. Even greater was my  surprise and dismay when I arrived, and 
was informed by the ICU nurse that he  had passed quietly just about a half hour 
ago. His family had just left. She  kindly gave me his sister's phone number.
    I will try to keep you updated as I find anything  new about funeral 
arrangements. I thank all who have already told me that they  would like to 
contribute toward flowers and the rest going to the family to help  defray some of 
the expenses. This was very sudden to them also, and I fear the  expenses of a 
furneral will be hard on them.
    As an idea, I thought you may also like to wear a  ribbon of some kind in 
rememberance of Karl for the next few events... I always  think of him having 
a heart of gold. If the canton was ever doing a project,  doing a demo, 
learning an art, needed extra hands for moving, cooking, painting,  waterbearing, 
troll, anything, he was always game to try, willing to lend a  hand, and there 
to do whatever he could. I smile at his attempt to sew blackwork  and make 
leather shoes, but he was willing to try something new! I am thankful  for his 
help precooking feasts and lunches. I am proud of his preformance at the  Post 
Oak demo. We are going to miss him at the meetings, sunday practices, and  the 
upcoming Tournoi des Enfantes (he was going to help ensure we had 2 adults  in 
the classroom and activity tents)... We will miss his quiet unpreposing  
willingness to help where he could. He had a heart of gold!!!  So, I have  
prepared 30 some black ribbons with gold hearts at the ends, to tie onto our  persons 
or stuff, as a rememberance of him. If you wish to wear one, I will have  
them at Crown Tourney, and whenever you see me next. I know Allen and Ragnar  
will be bearing them when they fight on Saturday.
    Thank you for all your support,
    I am in all of your's debt for the support you  provide for me!
 
YIS
