Dear Gilda I am sorry to hear of your loss. He was a funny man with a good sense of humor. if I would have known that he was a former minister. I would of had no problem making my sad confession to him. Especially of all the times i had to wake patients up to do their vitals signs for the 11-7 shifts. and the way we found that one night at Leonard Morse that we were related by one family member.I would have loved to have seen the look on his face when you told him the next morning. the few times that I stop by and caught him napping on the couch.big hugs Gilda:)

Dear Gilda and the Beard family,

My sincere and loving condolences to all of you. Charlie was truly the best man I have ever known. The way he doted on Gilda and treated his family was astounding. He truly loved everyone of you. My favorite memories are of listening to him say Mass in the sun room, and of course sitting on the back porch drinking martinis and eating snacks. If he wasn't making everyone laugh it was just because they were debating politics! They loved getting a good debate going and it was loud!

I know we lost a great man, but God gained a wonderful angel. Love you.
