I’m so shocked and saddened to see that Chuck passed away, Shirley. I would have gone to the funeral if I had known about it a day sooner! I haven’t seen either of you in a long time, since I’ve lived so far away for so many years. Always thought you were both real nice folks and enjoyed visiting with you whenever our paths crossed. I want you and all the family to know that you have my deepest sympathy.
Sincerely,
