I am so sorry for the loss of Charlie. I thought the world of him in middle school and high school. Reconnecting on Facebook and seeing how much he cared for everyone reminded me of those times. Susan, he certainly loved you. Prayers for you and your family. Judy White Struzick
My deepest sympathies.
Jay bug. I was saddened to hear about the loss of your father. I think of you often and our retail days.
I will add your family to Mass intentions.
