KRISTEN AND GLEN,
I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT CHARLIE. HE CAME TO OUR HOUSE IN AUGUST TO SEE CALEB, AND CALLED CALEB SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEN CALEB LOST HIS PHONE, AND DIDN'T HAVE A NUMBER TO GET BACK WITH HIM. I REALLY ENJOYED SEEING HIM, AND TALKING WITH HIM. HE HAD NOT CHANGED AT ALL FROM THE "GUS MACKER" AND BASKETBALL DAYS. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE SEEN HIM AND SPOKE WITH HIM. MAY HE REST IN PEACE. MY HEART AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
