In the sacred silence of farewell, James Carl is released into the embrace of eternity, knowing that his light will continue to shine brightly in the tapestry of the lives of his loved ones. And as his memory is carried forward, may comfort be found in the knowledge that love is eternal, and that James Carl's spirit lives on in the beauty that surrounds us.
