Charles,
Just read of Betty's passing and can't begin to know your sorrow but do know that you will find comfort in your loving and devoted family and friends. Sorry I could not be there to represent my side of the old Fahd family. May Betty be happier where she now is and may you recover soon from your loss. May God be with you. Maybe she'll meet my mother who very much liked Betty. You two were very good to her when she needed friends.
Your cousin.

To Uncle Charlie and Cousins Chuckie and Mary Ann:
I have many fond memories of visiting with your lovely wife/Mom when I was a kid and was always graciously welcomed by her. My Father, Harold Bonville loved her dearly and now they can all be together as a family again. She was the last of a big and wonderful bunch of kids and fortunately I got to know most of them. Marylyn and I pass on to you our best regards and prayers for you in this period of sorrow and loss. Your Nephew and Cousin, George Bonville

To the Fahd family,

My brothers (David and Larry) and I lived at 244 Clinton Avenue and were friends of "Chuckie." I remember "Mrs. Fahd" and the family well and being warmly welcomed into her home. She was just a young woman -- probably in her 30's then. She let us pick a candy from her "Lollipops for Good Little Girls and Boys" box hanging on the door. I so loved that! Lovely memories of a nice family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
