A Dedication to my Godson Carleton Halstead

A DEDICATION TO MY GODSON CARLETON What can I say, when I received news that you had gone to be with our Lord. I called you, but you didn’t respond. I asked our Lord many times to make a change in your life, but I didn’t expect this. My only hope was that I was a good influence in your life, and that you felt you could depend on me. I hate to see you go this way, but it seems to have been the only choice, if you can call it a choice. I will miss you terribly. So long, my dear Carleton. I will always love you.
