Dear Mary Jane & Family,

Today we recieved the sad news about Chuck and we all want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Life is just so special and the memories we have will always be so dear to us. I think of all the wonderful times we shared in Baton Rouge and I'll never forget the kindness your family gave to us. We could never ask for a better neighbor then you all.

Chuck was a kind gentle person and seemed to except things the way they were and just tried to make them better. He was a quiet caring person.

We all share in your sorrow.

Love,

Sandy, Stein, John, Pat, and Matthew

Oh, Mary Jane, what sad news! I had put Chuck on our St. Jude Parish prayer line. I don't know all the details, but I'll try to call you in the next week or so to visit long distance. Know that you and your family are all in my prayers and thoughts. Let's hope that he, Bobby and Leonard are sharing a cold one and a few laughs!

Love, Cynthia

We are sorry to hear about Uncle Chuck. He will be greatly missed, but will live on in our memories.

He certainly is in Heaven, as he was one of the greatest men to have existed on this earth.
