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,
Louis Wilson

I was shocked to see that Charlie had passed away. It doesn’t seem too long ago we all spoke together. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. You two seemed to fit together like a hand and a glove. You always complimented each other. It was an honor to serve with him on the Adams County Board of Supervisors. We had a good team back then and were in control of our Departments. Many a good meetings were held. Shirley I will be unable to make the services for Charlie. Please accept my condolences. Remember to share your memories through your tears and laughter. When you see a Cardinal remember, that will be Charlie coming to check up on you and give you comfort. May the Almighty Spirit and our Heavenly Lord above hold you tightly and give you comfort. With all my love, Kay
