John Dosick kind words for Karl remembrance.

Karl was my husband's best friend since high school. I knew him for 30 years.
Knowing Karl that long, I came to depend on him for so many things: support,
advice, inspiration and more. And I thought that, whatever happened to my
husband's health as he aged, I could always call Karl and he'd be there to
listen, to pitch in, to tell a joke, to distract with a story. In addition to
other losses we experienced this year, my family has experienced some scary
medical crises. And Karl is not here for me to call. And oh, do I miss him.
