Dear Mrs. Reppucci, Charlie and Carol, Elaine, Patricia, Peter and Carol:

My deepest condolences on the death of Mr. Reppucci. It's been so many years since I've seen you, but I never have forgotten your Dad's friendship, kindness and hospitality to my family. Always a smile and a kind, encouraging word. And what an amazing life.

I know he always was so proud of his family, he must have been especially thrilled with all those grandchildren.

With love to you all-

Dear Eleanor and family,

Charlie was a wonderful man whom I had the pleasure to work with at the Attorney General's office. He could brighten a day. May your hearts be filled with the many wonderful memories. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Eleanor (as well as children/grandchildren of Charlie): Please accept my (as well as my husband's) heartfelt sympathy upon the passing of your husband/dad/grandfather. I worked with Charlie in the A. G.'s Office over 20 years ago. He was a unique individua--reminiscent of the t.v. character "Columbo." He was a brilliant investigator. I don't think the A. G.'s Office has seen the likes of him since. May your wonderful memories of Charlie sustain you during this time.

Dear Eleanor and family:

I am so saddened by this news and yet so grateful that I was "home" for the holidays and was able to spend some time with all of you. Charlie was "one of the good guys." My prayers are with you all. God bless.
