To my cousin Charles Michael, who is one month and eleven days younger than I, I will miss you. We shared a crib, a playpen, and I'm sorry I stole your bottle from you. Your parents are proud of the many years you worked for the electrical union. Your many cousins, friends, and I will miss you terribly. I would like to thank Michelle Schimel and her daughters who took care of Charles Michael and gave him endless TLC during his final months on earth. Michelle, you and your daughters brought our cousin much happiness in
his final days. We are forever grateful and we can never repay you for your selfless acts of kindness and love you have given to our cousin.
