May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall,
You do not walk alone.

Please accept heartfelt condolences from Natalie, Arlene and Norman.
We are all very fond of Carlisle and we have very pleasant memories of time spent with him. He was a warm, affable, bright and generous individual. On many trips we enjoyed the most amazing Bajan treats from his kitchen.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you. May God comfort you with the wisdom to understand and the fortitude to carry on in the way that Carlisle would have liked.
Sorry that we are unable to be with you in person.

A lot of warm memories growing up as had so many great conversations always with a smile. My sincere condolences to the family. Paul, Evan and Austin.
