I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Charlie. I will always remember my Uncle Charlie as a great family man. He loved his family so, and in fact, the last thing he said to me just days before his death was that we had two great families. He was very much at peace. I know what a great loss this will be to your family. I pray that you all will lean on each other to get through this tough time, and keep the love of your family alive as your dad would want.
All my love,
Joan & Mark Sullivan
