Dear Aunt Marilyn, We send you our love and condolences. The two of you lived a good life and you have a big family with grandkids up there to keep your heart warm. We just learned about Uncle Charlie´s passing and tomorrow´s funeral --so it is now too late for us to get there to be with you, but we are with your family in our thoughts and prayers. I treasure all the many funny emails and reminiscences that Uncle Charlie shared by emails back when he was on email. The last time I talked to him , I called when Rigel Winston was born to Skye and Sue in August 2016, and he replied - good another boy in the Bristol line ! He didnt say much else so it was a short call,--- but we appreciated his good wish sent to the next generation. Sean and I visited you guys a few years back, soon after you moved into the AssistedLiving place - and got to meet Bonnie and had Chinese lunch at a nearby all you can eat place - Donnie came too. ... so Sean is happy he got to meet Uncle Charlie and his Canadian relatives then, and when I told him of Uncle Charlie´s death when he came home from work tonight, Sean said it he was wondering how Uncle Charlie was just last week. Maybe he was already sending his goodbyes to us then.. I have a formal, happy picture of the two of you in my study - a picture that Uncle Charlie gave me in 2013 when we visited.... so we will continue emember you both always. Much love to you and the whole family, Janis, Sean Skye & Sue & Rigel -- in Maryland.
