It is time like this that makes us all realize that life is too short. Gloria, you are a tower of strength, always putting the needs of others before your own. Chuck has so many wonderful family and friends to greet him in heaven. I am thankful for the brief conversation that I had with Chuck during his last days. The pain that he suffered is now ours. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers no matter how far away I am.
With Love and Heartfelt sympathy,

Gloria and family; Our deepest sympathy for your loss. Chuck was such a dear friend, we loved his humor, his laughter and his love of music. I remember when we went together to see karaoke and he had to be pushed to get up to sing, boy how that changed. He was a big encouragement for me to finish collge and he made our time there so much better. He will be missed by my family so much but we will have found memories for ever. Our love goes out to you in these hard time. Charles, Sharon and Family

Phyllis, I will never know another man who adored a child as much as dad did you. Remember they never leave and they only go away for a little while.. we will see them again. Id have done anything for you not to have ever known this time. Your dad was right you are a gift from heaven! I am here for you now and forever . Yes...my memories of bags of clams in the kirkwood parking lot..dad opening them, and then the day they came for lunch after your surgery, my favorite will always be teasing that he drove like he was in the parade..lol, And then they did. I will remember fruit salad after the stroke and all the times i walked through that door to a big HEY KID, and although the papers were never signed mom i am yours. My love to all of you and dad I will see you on the other side. Love you all always. LISA

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
