When a loved one leaves us it is impossible to know exactly what to say. Almost daily for many years Charles, myself and others met for coffee and chatter. I personally learned so much from sitting with him. I and all who knew Charles well will miss him so very much. My deepest sympathy’s to you Marie, David and Mary Ann.
So sorry to read of Charlie’s passing. I enjoyed singing in the church choir with you, Marie, and him. I remember a choir party at your house when you allowed my
2 children to try “virtually” to fly a plane. I think most of the time the plane was upside down or on its side! Anyway, they loved it! Please know I am m thinking of all
of you. Fondly, Jane Logan
