Jennifer, so sorry for your loss keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
We met Carl when he had his private practice. He saw our family and my son Carlos. He was honest, loving and cared about my son. He went above and beyond what a counselor would do. He was charming, skilled and knew how to bond with us in order to help him. He was wonderful and we miss him very much. His knowledge and experiences in life led us to him. He was a gem and a treasure to so many people and families. I send love and peace to his family at this time. We will never forget his willingness to work with our family and to be there for us all when things got chaotic. May peace be with him. A deep sense of gratitude goes to God, who gave us the counselor we needed. Thank you Carl, for your laughter, expertise and honesty! We keep a place in our hearts for him and the healing work he did for the world.
Mr. Cutsinger was a nice man who helped many people in his time at LT. He is remembered fondly.
