To the entire Blackett family and anyone who knew and loved Carlisle - I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I will always remember Carlisle as a gentle and caring man who had a very long lasting friendship with my father Horace. As a young girl I would go to the Blackett's home to play with Mona and to enjoy Carlisle's amazing sweetbread. I have fond memories of that. Rest in peace Carlisle. You will be sorely missed.
Rest in Peace Cousin Carlisle
