When Charlie married my sister Pat, I got the big brother I'd always wanted. What an incredible gift. When Pat was in the hospital before the triplets were born, I took care of Anita and Emily while Charlie was at work. I was in college then and had a flexible schedule. One of my favorite memories is sitting up with him, late, trying out different names for the new babies. During those years, before having my own family, I spent a lot of time in the house on Regester Avenue. In the midst of the unavoidable chaos, Charlie was always cool, calm and collected. I learned so much from him, and from Pat, about love, life, and raising a family. Big brother, I can't wait til we meet again. We'll stay up and talk late into the night...

I am grateful to Charlie forever, for without him I would not be blessed with the dearest friendship of Steve, Em (his daughter), Sammy and Rosie.

There was never a time where I thought that Dad didn't know exactly what he was saying or doing. He had the rare ability to calm people, could talk to anyone, and had the quiet authority that commands immediate respect from those around him. I'll miss you most of all, Scare Crow.

Charlie was a very special person to me when we were younger. He was my first "crush" at 14, and he took me to my first concert. I will never forget his constant smile and his fabulous personality!
Many years later, he welcomed my husband and I (and kids) into his home, and it seemed as if no time had passed at all. He was the same loving and caring person that he always was. He will be missed!

His death was the first time that he ever made anyone sad.
(As Red Skelton said about Ed Wynn).
With deepest sympathy.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
