Thinking About You  / Ellie Sparks (Daughter)
Carlos,

I am sitting here tonight and I am thinking about you. I miss you so much. Ever since you have been gone I have felt that there is a hole in my heart that can not be filled. I love you so much. I know that you are not my biological father but the day God called you home I lost a father none the less. You were always there when I needed you whether it was to wipe away my tears or to share in my joys. I know that you are happy in heaven with Granny, Grandpa, and Herbie, but I am selfish because I want you back. I'm not crazy I know that you can never come back but that does not stop my heart for longing for just one more day with you. Some days with the weight of Grandpa and Herbie's death's combined with losing you so suddenly I feel like I can not go on any longer. Sissy and the boy's need you to. When you left us, you left behind four children who's hearts were crushed. Did you know that Red has never visited your grave? One day I asked him why and he told me that as long as he never goes to your grave that he can expect you to walk through the door at any time.  As long as he does not see your grave he does not have to admit you are gone. This is what has kept him alive for the last 14 years. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you.

Love,
EI Close

Dear Carlos  / Alene (baby sister )
Dear Carlos,
I know that you and Carvel got pretty close right before you died. Please pray that this family will give him a little respect. It is a known fact that none of us are perfect and we have all made mistakes. He loved you and I just wanted you to know, you made him promise to do something with that song he wrote about drifting. He did, he made me so happy with it the other day. He touched my heart listening to him sing it and seeing how much he felt what it said. As soon as I can I am going to get him to put it on CD and put it on your website. I believe that would please you. We spent the whole day together. We played a little guitar, we laughed, we cried. It was a great day. I can't remember a day that I had enjoyed so much with him in a long time. He has eyes just like Daddy. It made me cry to look into them and happy all at the same time. How can anyone be mean to him with a clear conscience if they really cared for Dad? Really, truly, he looks like Dad more than any of the other boys. Love you Carlos, please ask God to give us strength. I don't have anymore of my own strength left. This is just too hard! Give Dad, Mom and Herbie a big hug. Love Alene Close

Dear Carlos  / Alene (baby sister )
Hi Carlos,I found some pictures for your website that I had forgotten I had. Chriss said she would scan them in for me. They are of you and your family. I know you will love them. I will put them on as soon as I can. I love and miss you so much. Sweet Dreams. Love you, Alene Close

gifts for you  / Irene Ballinger (sister)
carlos my dear brother i made it back to your grave today. i put some windchimes up and bought you a cardinal and a butterfly that sticks in the ground and when the wind blows their wings flap. i bought you a twisted windchime and hung it in the tree over your grave herbie went with me and he said you would say boy thats pretty because when the wind would blow it would just swrill around and around. daddy and larry went with me too. rose wanted to go but she just is not really able to go much of anywhere anymore. she has been really sick. i worry about her a lot. i pray that god will heal her. we had daddy a birthday party last sunday. all his kids were there but you so even though he had 9 kids there we were still not complete without you and mommy. i would give the last breath my body has left for all of us to be together again. melissa,s b-day was the 25 of july. give her a kiss and tell her that her mommy and daddy love her very much and wish she could still be here with us. i hope you liked what we brought you today to your grave. i have one more thing to bring you right now. it is a bible on a heart shaped stand but i dont want to bring it until i get the bible put in plastic so it wont get wet. i love you and miss you. you were a special part of my life.

Just thinking of you  / Alene (baby sister )
Dear Carlos,
Between working and taking care of my family I am usually so busy that I really don't have the time to sit and think about things. I am thankful for that most of the time. Well this week I took vacation and it turned out to be just that, time to think. Instead of thinking about bad things (which sometimes we can't help but do) I chose to focus on some of the good things that had happened in my life. Some of my fondest memories included you. We went to Dollywood this week and for some reason it put me in the mind of the time you took us to Chain Rock. I also remember when you bought me my first Icee (Yummy) and the time you bought me and Herbie an ice cream cone at Bruner's and we both went home and went straight to sleep. I thought for sure you had told them to put something in that ice cream to make us go to sleep. LOL  It's the first time I can remember having soft serve ice cream. You also took me to the movies for the first time. Even though I was only about 6 or 7 years old I still remember what was playing, Thunder Road. LOL
We didn't get to do a whole lot when we were little. Most of the older brothers and sisters treated us like we were in the way, but you never did. I know the things I have mentioned may not seem like much to most people, but as a child you never forget when someone is good to you and makes you feel special. Thank you for some very special memories. I love you and will never forget you, Alene Close
