To the Carlson's, My prayers are with you. Your mom and dad cared for me when I was nine and older. My dad died at an early age and Mr. and Mrs Carlson along with Mr. and Mrs Eggleston took me in when I was a young lost boy. I learned a lot from them, which made me the man I am today. Mrs Carlson, thank you and I will pray for you and your family. I love you all, Roger Montemayor Sr
Sincere condolences on the loss of your mother.
