Not sure what to say?

To Sally, Suzanne, Chuck and Laura, Although grief can be hard, lean to the special memories that you have shared as a family. I am grateful to have known and cared for such a wonderful person. I will keep you all in my prayers and I will never forget your lovely family.

Charlie was one of my Dad's best friends. He used to come to Madison and visit / fish a lot with him. I have a picture of him and Dad sitting in a boat smiling appropriately. God bless him and his family.
