Chère Marie-Ellen,
Papa vient de m'apprendre la triste nouvelle et nous sommes de tout coeur avec vous par nos prières. J'ai le souvenir d'un papa très attentif et très attaché à ses enfants. Et lors de notre dernière rencontre en France, j'étais très touchée de le revoir ainsi que ta maman.
Nous vous embrassons tous affectueusement.

Dear Irma,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Charlie's death and I feel so helpless that all I can offer is my sympathy. Charlie meant a lot to me for many reasons. He was boss and mentor to me at a time in my life when I needed a stong role model (he insisted that I return to finish college). He was both kind and tough and always fair; he fought for what he believed in with such integrity and verve that I tried to model my own life on those wonderful characterisitics. Charlie was not only the best boss I ever had, he was one of the finest individuals I have ever had the privledge to know. With love and affection, John (and Sharon) Hogan

Dear Irma: I was very sorry to hear that Charlie had finally succumbed. Our prayers are with you, and may you be comforted with the knowledge that he is in God's care where there is no pain or suffering and where you will one day join him. Trust always in God - His love will always be with you and bear you through all your sorrow and bring you again to a time of peace and joy.

As I said once before to you, Charlie was the best boss I ever had, and I always respected and like him even when we disagreed. He was truly a fine, and honest man.

Dear Family of Charlie,
Please accept my condolences and prayers for your loss. While my association with Charlie was always tangential at MITRE, I always found him friendly, helpful, professional.

Dear Irma and family

It was an honor knowing and working with Charlie in our VOTF affiliate. His clear thinking often set our course of discussion and action. His passion and love for the church was a beacon for all of us.

Know that in your time of grief and pain that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Irma ,
There are no words to express the depth of your loss. Your family has a special place in my memories. Your children helped make Youth Ministry and its retreats so successful with your and Charlie working so hard in the background. It is a blessing
knowing you all. Hazel
