I remember Charlie was always polite to me. He always said thank you if he had stayed overnight, or had a meal with us!

He was always truly grateful!I remember taking Charlie and Trevor out to dinner at Maggiano’s. Charlie loved all the food and after that, began to want to learn more about cooking and I remember Linda sharing about Charlie exploring new recipes with her.And the thing I remember most, is Charlie’s love for his family. It was never in question! If his Mom, sister, or Dad needed him, he tried to help. You were his everything! Even when struggling hard, he knew you were there for him.

Thank you for this memory Kathy. Besides your love and friendship, you actually gave Charlie the love of his life – his first guitar. And then true magic happened. You were there for him in so many ways. Thank you for enriching his life and ours.
