May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

To Ilse, Rosita, and family:

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Charles' passing. I am honored to have known him through association to Ilse and Rosita as their financial advisor over the years. I can remember Charles always accompanying Ilse when we would meet to discuss matters - he was a kind "old school" gentleman and husband and reminded me of my late father.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. May you take comfort from all of the good memories ...
