My thoughts and BIG HUGS are with you. Although I never met your Mother, I heard wonderful stories about her from you and Charlie. May she Rest In Peace.
Charlie,
I know how much you loved her. What a gift to have her with you in her final days, you were very special to her. I love you my friends!
Love,
Norah
