August 9, 2018 at 5:48 pmI haven’t been able to stop thinking about Karlton these past few days. I knew him from Tallwood HS. We were just acquaintances but Karlton always showed me love. When I heard of his illness it hit extra close to home as I battled stage 3 cancer last year. It hurts to see such a promising young life taken so soon. Karlton bro I pray that you rest in eternal peace and I pray for your family and that the Lord will give them the strength to get through this. You’re gone bro but you won’t be forgotten!
