Dear Peggy and all the family -
We were all very sad to hear of your loss of dear Charles. As you know Bill thought Charlie to be one of the finest people he ever knew. So kind and generous and he never seemed to be thinking of himself. We admired your loving family and were always sorry we couldn't see more of you. Your family's care and consideration of Aunts Kay & Molly will never be forgotten. Please know that we are thinking of you and sending our sympathy.
Rosemary (Gigi), James, Billy and Francis O'Shea - your cousins in NY.

I was a very good friend of Charlie's brother Chris. Remember a few "touch" football games with Charlie and Chris on the Boulevard and in Sherman Park that almost, and probably should have,ended in Evangelical.You have my deepest sympathy in your loss.

Dear Eileen:
My dad called and told me about your dad's passing. Strangley as my dad read the obituary a perfectly clear vision of your dad appeared in my head: it was timeless, he had a mischievous, accutely observant look. I send off a hug for you. I hope Kris and the kids are well. I'd love to hear from you some time. My best to your mom, your sisters and Gene.
Love,
Mary
