Charles,

You know my heart is broken. Your mother meant so much to me. We would always send greetings to one another through you, and it meant so much to me that she took the time to care about me and my children. And yet, that's the way she was. She cared so much for others. Without a doubt, she was a great lady. My prayers are with you, Sandra, and your family.
