Dear Sally,

I was just looking for you on the internet when Chuck's obituary came to light. I am so sorry he's left us. I hope you are coping well and have your girls around you.

Sally, I have a packet of letters your mother Kath wrote to my grandmother Lucy. It spans a great many years and I was wondering if you and your daughters would like to have them.

I'm so sorry I never had the chance to meet Chuck as an adult.

Much love,
Heidi (Grace's daughter)

Hello, my name is Margareli Ortiz and I worked at McDonald's where Charles used to come in and order coffee. I offer my sincerest condolonces to your loss. He was a sincere and nice man. We mostly knew him as "The Cowboy" since he always came in wearing his cowboy hat. He was always polite and charming to all of us there, and we will surely miss him.
