Words are inadequate to express our gratitude for the outpouring of love and support at the time of death of our husband, father and grandfather, Carl Protzman.

We thank everyone who sent flowers, food, gifts, and held us in prayer during this difficult time.

We were deeply touched and comforted by all who visited the funeral home and the funeral.

We especially thank everyone at Thompson Miller Funeral Home, Pastor Towberman, Bantam Marine Corp Detachment 743, St. Mark's Helping Hands, and all others who in any way tended to lessen our sorrow.
