Dear Annetta, Donna & Horace

You're in our thoughts and prayers. We feel so fortunate to have been able to spend some time with you and Charlie recently at Marti's 75th party. We enjoyed our time together and it was nice to see Charlie enjoying himself that night. We're sorry to be unable to attend the memorial service as Len will be flying out of the country and I will also be working. You will remain often in our thoughts and prayers.
