To the family of Ms. Lillian Nelson, I am sorry for the news about Ms. Nelson's death. It was an honor to serve as her Chaplain while she was in the hospital. Although she would tell me when I came by to visit with her that my Minister Lisa wasn't there. And then she would have such a beautiful laugh. Family on behalf of the Pastoral Care Dept. at BSSF Hospital, we send our condolences and are praying for God's peace and comfort for you all.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Chuckie. I knew your mother when she was a teenager and we lived on Nunan street. Years later when I returned home and saw her she was the same sweet and kind person I knew.
For you - know she is at peace with no pain and with other loved ones. She´ll always be with you just keep her deep in your heart and the love will continue to flow.
Stay Blessed !!

Chuckie, you were one of a kind. I will always cherish the memories that we made together while working on 3 Pettit Roper. I will also think of you with fondness when I make the vinegar candy that you loved so much! Rest well, Chuckie. I was so blessed to have been a part of your life and for the laughs and friendship that we shared. My sincere condolences to your beloved family.

Sending my heartfelt prayers, condolences, BiG HuGs & LoVe to my cousins Lisa & Kim, her beloved Grandchildren; The Nelson, Robinson & Ardrey families... I also pray for her neighbor & long-time friend Twin too.
My Mom Chee-Chee is in a fog, as they've been close since they were pre-teens & I heard when she visited NYC as a young adult, it was her first time having REAL pizza! Whether Chuck is NYC or my Mom is in Charleston, they always hook up, unless she's out of town & they spoke at least twice a week. Whenever my Mom took my son to Charleston, Chuck spoiled him rotten & she'd affectionately say, "I spoil em' & send em' home to his Mama." *shaking my head*
Maannnn, Cousin Chuckie was so loving, loved by all & will truly truly be missed. I'm sure her, Tank, cousin Boo, Elder cousin Bernice & Eldest cousin Power are up there, talkin' trash! (SMILE)

"A mother's love is alive forever, In the lessons she taught, the patience she gave and in the hearts of the children she raised".
My mother used to say, "If love could keep our loved ones here, they'd never leave".

Lisa, Kim and your family, The lady I knew as Chuckie, was your Mother. I don´t believe I ever called her Lillian. I met her in 1980 a year after moving to Charleston at Roper Hospital. I worked the night shift and she was on days at the time and several years later she came to the night shift. Your Mom was a great nurse and a fine woman. Our schedules were very much the same, so we worked together, a lot. She loved her family. I always knew things were under control during our busy times. Thank you Chuckie, you will be missed, fly high with the Angels and be without pain or worry. It was my privilege to be your co-worker. With love, Barbara
