Dear Charlie and family,

So sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I just found out from my sister only to learn that it was to late to make it to the funeral. Your dad was such a special man. I remember when he came to my dad's funeral, he was so sweet and genuine. He spent a long time talking to me and really made me feel so much better on a difficult day. I hope you hold onto all the best memories you shared. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Debbie
