Hey family- so very sorry to hear about Charlie. I spent several evenings outside at Brookdale with him while visiting my Aunt Minnie. They became pretty close and I´m so sad without him. It didn´t take me long to figure out he wasn´t a grumpy old man but a real teddy bear He loved the UK hat we got him for his birthday! Just wanted you to know he made a difference in my aunts & our lives. He was a sweetie! Hugs to all of you!
