Dear Charlie,
You would always thank me right up untill your last days in the hospital for "your
family" meaning Audrey, Chrissy and Jason. I thank you, for how much you loved and cared for them. Thier lives didn't lack for anything. Something that I could not have done with out you. They had all your love and you had thiers. I couldn't have put a better person, in thier lives and have no regrets. I'm going to miss you so very much. None of us, will ever be the same, without your presence in our lives. But, your at peace now, from all that you suffered.

Love,
Marlene

my condolence to the family .

Audrey Benzo

God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered" Come to Me",

With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.


I Miss You Very Much,
I Love You Very Much,
Your Loving Daughter, Audrey

Dear Chrissy,
You are my best friend and I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much you meant to each other. He was a great guy with an amazing spirit. I'll never forget when I met him and called him "Mr. Marranca" and he told me to call him "Papa Charlie". 20 years later he said the same thing to my son and I will always be grateful to have known him. Hang in there sweetie....If you need anything, I'm here for you. May God bless you, and watch over you during this time of sorrow...You are in my prayers. Love, Amy & Zachary

My Papa...your life was a true blessing to me. The love you showed me could never be measured, and our bond will never be broken. We always said to eachother "it's you and me against the world"...well I will continue our fight, and I will be sure to make you proud.
