Dear Chuck & Fran,
Jim & I send our heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your son. Charlie was very special to our family, especially mom. She said many times that he was like a member of the family and she worried about him like she did the rest of us. One always struggles for the right words to say at times like these, but there aren’t any. I hope you know, however, that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. Take care of one another and May God Bless You and keep you. Love, Kathy & Jim
Dear Chuck, Fran, and April, My thoughts and prayers are with you right now. We will all miss Charlie very much. I wish I could be there for you. Mom just told me she saw him and how grown up he was, she was so proud of him and happy to see him. He’s our Charlie Brown. Love Jenn
Dear Fran and family,
Aunt Pat called and let us know about Charlie. I don’t know what to say except that I am so sorry. It’s been almost 2 years since Daniel and I have talked and I called to let him know and we have talked a couple of times since then.
Youns have been through so much and it seems like some of us are given more than we can handle although it says in the Bible that God doesn’t give us more than we can bare. We love and miss you very much. We will keep Charlie close to our hearts and youns in our prayers.
I’m sorry that we couldn’t be at the funeral.
Love Chris & Brittany Mehl
Keep your memories close to your hearts and remember all the good times you had with Charlie. Charlie was a sweetie!
My family and I send our condolences to Chuck, Fran, and family. Our prayers are with Charlie.
wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
