Chuck, Les, and Entire Territo Family,

Barb and I are terribly sorry for your loss. The matriarch of your family was a fine person who has gone to her reward. Always remember the kindly values and love of family she demonstrated every day. Brother Chas, we are both facing difficult days at this time. We will smile again. And, in the end, experiences like the ones we are both currently facing will strengthen our bonds with those we love.
