Dad: In 3 days it will be my first Christmas without you and Mom. Boy, I thought my birthday on the 4th was bad. I'm upset just writing this. I miss you so much it hurts. We all laugh about all the stuff that happened growing up and as adults. It brings many laughs and some consolation.
Love and miss you every day.

Dear Dad, Your leaving was so hard on everyone, especially so soon after mom. I miss you both. There are memories from our childhoods that give us children such great laughs. We will recount them for years. Your special happiness when the grandchildren and especially the great-grandchildren came around is something I will cherish. You could be a hard man at times, but you always were a very generous man. You loved our mother and all of your children. I love you and will miss you. " Be good to yourself." Susan

Dear Charlie and Family,
Thank you for you tireless years of love and service and showing us how to enjoy life a day at a time. Your example was a blessing to me.... without your mentoring and friendship of your friend and ours- Bill R. (Robbie) I would not be here and on the broad highway today. Thanks for loving me until I could love myself Charlie.... and to your family, My heartfelt prayers and sympathy. Giving of his time and love has directly and indirectly helped me and countless others in the Philadelphia area and around the world find peace, serenity and recovery. Thank you for sharing him with us. With love and gratitude, Dennis Daly
