Dear Charlie, my very special friend,

I am saddened by your loss because nothing can replace a Mother's love nor the love for a Mother. It is enlightening, however, to know your Mother is in a place filled with love, joy and happiness and that the Lord will help brighten these saddest of days with the wonderful memories you shared with her while here on earth. May God continue to bless you, Nancy and your family.

Our prayers go out to you. You all are in our prayers. Be comforted that she is at peace with Our Lord

Charlie,
I am very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember the Sloppy Joe's she made for us when you would invite me to eat at your house on Calhoun Street. You're a good friend Charlie and she was a very nice lady. May God bless and keep her. I am sorry that I can't be there.
