Dear Glancey Family,
My deepest condolences for all of your recent losses.
I had the pleasure of knowing Charly when I worked at the Baptist Home. Even when I left I made a point to go visit. I just loved him!! His face would light up whenever I went to visit. We would talk about our families and what was going on. I can't tell you how much I will miss him. I will forever cherish the friendship I had with him. He and I would tease your mom that I Loved him but I wouldn't steal him away! My heart is happy that he is now with her!! GOD BLESS and I will see you again my friend. P.S. The Maid Marion picture that was in his room is of he and I.
