God bless and keep you, Charlie. You were a good man: a good husband and provider, father, grandfather, and friend. You and Mollie did a great job raising Beth, Linda, and Skip, each of whom has become a great parent as well. Rest in peace-- you've earned it.
I'm happy to see some of the Laurels team offering their condolences-- we're all very thankful for the great care they've been taking of Charlie and Mollie.

Charlie and Mollie have been my favorite residents ever since they came to The Laurels. I volunteer their on Mondays and coming to their room and talking with them was always a pleasure. Please accept my condolences on his loss. I will miss him and will pray for comfort for Mollie and the rest of his family.
