Dear Chuck,
So sorry to hear about your mom. I know how much she loved you and how close you were. Its not easy being the only one left; I know; me, too. Sorry, too, that I found out too late to pay my respects. I will pray for her this week, for the repose of her soul and peace for yours. You made her proud by becomming the best son she could have hoped for and you filled her life with what, I am sure, is a most wonderful and loving family.
My prayers are with you; my heart never left.
