    My sincere sympathies to you Honora and family, so sorry to hear about Charlie’s passing may he rest in piece. Charlie was part of our gang growing up along with Raymond,Maurice,Joan,Charlotte and myself …we used to go swimming in the lake below your house and skating on the lake below my house in the winter. My husband died five years ago and I know the lost you are going through my prayers are with you all.
