Chaz I am so sorry for your loss. I know you loved your Mom and she was very proud of you (Charlie!). I am glad you got to see her a couple of weeks ago and spend some time with her. Last Christmas she got to meet Mia and Skylar. Take strength and comfort knowing that everyone is thinking of you and your family at this sad time.
