Leah, Dyvonee, Charlotte, and of course Will, or Charles, or? I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. I enjoyed her sense of humor and will miss her phone calls and visits to my office. Together we tried to cure the world, but no such luck! She told me often that “Charlie was the best thing that ever happened to me.” She fiercely loved your dad and all of you and would defend you to the very end. I’m sure she’s free of pain and with those she loved and missed. Take care all of you, and know that you’re in my prayers. Carol Rule
