Dear Charlotte;
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. You have traveled a long hard road for the past several years. I truly believe that he is in a better place. I met you at LTAC when our mother (Lucy) spent a month there. My prayers are with you at this time.

I am thinking of you all during this time. Chuck, I still remember you as that sweet little boy that was in Eddie's (Harris) class several times in grammar school. I know you loved Scoopy! He came to my house many times to service our cable. I also knew him when we were teens going to Porter's all the time.
May knowing that he is no longer in pain help comfort you all at this sad time. Just keep your faith in God.
Love to all.
