Chuck and family,
We are so saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. The heavens are blessed with a beautiful new angel!!! I will always treasure the copy of “Chuck’s Mom’s Clam Chowder” that she had given me for one of our cookouts – even though after trying a few times, it never came out like hers. I know that you will keep her memory alive with in your hearts and the hearts of future generations – her Generous, Loving Heart will live for ever!!!! I am certain her heart is bursting with pride as she watches you from the heavens!!!!!
