Dad,
I left my home in Arizona to be able to spend the month with you and Mom. Never knowing it would be the last month of your life. I had the opportunity to enjoy every day in that month to wake up, to sit with you and mom and have breakfast, lunch and dinner and help in any way I was able to. I
Enjoyed our Boston trip with you, Mom and Lou. I know you enjoyed it as well. On the day I left
to go back to Arizona. I told you I loved you, kissed you goodbye and said I will be come back to see
you in two months. I would have never guessed it was going to be the last day of your life and the last time I would see you alive! My heart ts forever broken once again as it was last month when my
Son Jeffrey died. I lost both of you in a matter of 1 month. I have asked why?? The answer is GOD
wanted two more angels in heaven! I love the both of you so very much and I will miss you both with
every breath I take! Until we meet again I send all my everlasting love! ❤️❤️❤️ Janice
I will miss you Uncle Dave! So many amazing memories with you.. You always stuck up for me when I got in trouble….Rest in Peace my favorite Uncle.
Love,
Your Nephew Charlie
