Carolyn, So sorry to hear about Charlie. Every time I think about both of you at Sunrise it makes me smile. He was definitely the life of the party!
I'm sure Charlie and Denny are sitting somewhere together and having a drink (or two ) talking about all of the ornery things they have done.
Love you lots,
Milissa

Carolyn,
I just want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. My dad (John Anderson), thought so highly of Charlie. You both were so good to him and to me and my children. I am so thankful that my dad had "Good people" he could count on like Charlie. I can remember dad saying one night, after he and Charlie were (out and about) "You don't find good people like them anymore" speaking of you and Charlie. I want you to know that if you need anything Carolyn, please, know that I am here for you!

Aunt Carolyn, Theresa, Kenny and Christina. You are all in our prayers. Uncle Charles was one of a kind and had more love in his heart then most could ever dream. He taught us that there is no line between family and friends, we were all family to him. May he live long in our hearts, bring laughter to our ears when we least expect it, and love by his example. He will truely be missed.
