Dear Mrs. Falkner, Carol Ann, Karen and Kim, I am deeply saddend by your loss. One of my best memory's of Mr. Falkner was when we were watching the Phila. Eagles in the playoff's and it was so foggy we couldn't believe they were playing. I spent alot of weekends in your home as a teenager and I was always treated as "one of the family". Thank you!

Hazel and Family,
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I remember how he would "talk" to me at the clubhouse about our dogs and other things. He was such a gentle man. I used to live on St. Georges Drive next to Gene and Dot. My prayers are with you all.

Hazel and children, We shall always remember Charlies smiling face at church wearing his Redskins jacket, taking care of the candles and greeting everyone. I can assure you that he will be missed by all who knew him. He was a talented and intelligent man who left his mark on this world. We thank God that we were so lucky to know him.

Dear Mrs. Falkner, Karen, CarolAnne, & Kim, I am truly sorry for the loss of your Dad. I haven't seen him since Karen got married but he was a wonderful man, and great Father to his girls. I know he'll be missed by many. He was always so nice to me and always welcomed me into his home. I wish you all peace now knowing he is in a better place and no longer in any pain. God Bless you all. Love, Kathy (Cochran) Lally

Dear friend and great example of how much we can endure when the love of life is our greatest treasure. Our loss is great but heaven has received one of our dearest angels from earth.

"When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel, and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world, and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People disappear, but they never really go away...."
Carol, I just wanted you to know . . . I'm thinking of you during this difficult time.
Your father has left behind a thousand moments that will live in your heart forever... Please know, that you and your family are in many thoughts and prayers.
