We will miss Uncle Chuck. I know that the Angels will be with his family and that he was not alone on his journey to heaven. Marida, his sister in law, my mother, will not be able to attend his funeral. She has not done very well with the passing of loved ones but she wanted me to let you all know she is thinking of you and we are all sorry for your loss.
