Not sure what to say?





Some very late condolences as I just stumbled across this. I only knew Mr. Borror through his son Jerry with whom I hung out with in high school. My condolences to the family.

Charlie, we will miss you, of course. So will the black cat with the white face and paws who greets me every morning.

Darlene and I have enjoyed being your and Betty's neighbors these ten years.

The best compliment I can share is that you were always "neighborly".

I've offered to Georgia and Ginger any
help we may be with them and with Betty. Our thoughts and prayers are
with you and your family at this time.

We were very sorry, Betty, to learn of Charlie's passing. He was a great guy. It was alway good to see him at the Borror Reunions and to share family memories with him. We always enjoyed the photos he sent us of wildlife. To be sure, the eagles of Decorah will miss his online visits. Dick and Charlotte Shover
