My Uncle Charlie was one of my favorite uncles. When the phone would ring on Christmas, I knew it was him. He and dad (his brother) would talk and laugh and extend warm holiday love to one another, in their way. After my dad passed away, Uncle Charlie made it a point to continue to call my home and wish me and my family a "Merry Christmas." It was simply a tradition that I feel he knew was important to me. It was, it was a highlight of my Christmas since I was very little!
I have great memories of my Uncle Charlie and Aunt Cricket. They were exceptional people. So much fun, so alive and so great!
I'm so sorry for your loss Craig, my cousin. Your father was a wonderful, awesome person!
Love,
Tammy (your kissin cousin)

Craig:
I was saddened to hear about your dad. I heard about it the day after the memorial mass from Glenn Healey. I always enjoyed stopping and talking to him while roming the streets of St. Ann. He was a kind and decent man who always loved to have someone ask about you. He was very proud of you. I am going to miss seeing him at church but I know that he is still there in the spirit as so many others, including Margaret's dad who was also just laid to rest Friday. God be with you and your family always.
