May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back
. May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
You were the best boss Charlie

I will always remember the great times we had visiting uncle Charlie and aunt Sandy. Always made you feel at home, always had great stories to share about my mom and dad. He was so proud of his kids and grand children and all of his extended family. I will miss him, but look forward to the day when I see him again with aunt Sandy, my mom and.. his "sweetie pie" aka my dad.. There was a great story there!
