Isabelle and Tina
I am so sorry for your loss. He is way too young to be gone. I know he and Tina don't remember when I used to baby sit them in the apartment in Bryn Mawr but I always enjoyed spending time with them. Chuckie was such a little sweetheart, always a good baby!!! I'm sure he will reunite with Aunt Joyce in heaven and they'll have a lot of good memories.
GOD Bless you both and the rest of your family.

Uncle Chuck - "UC", I have so many memories of you inside my head and heart that I will take with me wherever I go in life. When I was 5 you and Marty swore to me the reason the Christmas lights on your tree blinked was because there was ghost in your house...and I believed you. I'll never forget that you bought me my very first puppy, he was totally un-trainable but he was my "Buddy". And my Cabbage Patch playhouse for my 3rd or 4th birthday, I remember just like it was yesterday you and Aunt Donna bringing it to my house in your white pick up truck with the red Viola Contractors on the side, you always got so excited when you knew something you were giving or doing was going to bring another person joy and happiness. So much of my childhood was spent with the both of you and I will cherish every second of that. I know that there is now a beautiful angel in heaven with an unforgettable smile and an obnoxiously infectious laugh watching over all of us. Love You Always-Always.
