Mrs.Mary,
Charlie was the most kindest,gentle caring,sweet man. I actually took care of Charlie at Riverside about a year ago and he was one of the best residents I had. Always understanding and considerate.I always used to tell him how lucky he was to have such a sweet loving wife as you . He would smile extremley big and say thank you so much for saying that. I love her too and yes I am lucky and well blessed. I think we all were lucky and blessed to have got to conversate with Charlie...

Rev. McKimmon was an important part of the Rose family in the 70's. He was a wonderful Rector and we have so many memories of him at St. John's. Our deepest sympathy to Mrs. McKimmon and the family. He was a true gentleman who lived God's word.

My Dear Mary:
How sad Mac and I are to learn of Charlie's death. We have such fond memories of you both. Charlie was a dear man and a good friend. The world will be a bit dimmer without his caring ways and winning smile.
Love and prayers,
