Dear Chuck and family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Dana, Cristie and I were just reminiscing about old times in the 80s and that same day heard about your dad. Sending prayers and love. Sasha Dole Altizer

Chuck, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I have such sweet memories of times we shared over the years: delicious home cooked seafood meals, cobbler made by your mom, getting loved on whenever I saw them both. Your dad once stopped me when walking to tell me which side of the road I should walk on! Your mom loaned me a sweet Moses basket when my first child was born. I am honored to have had both your parents in my life!! Grace and peace to you and your mom at this time.
