A Tribute To Charlie: No one ever touched my heart in such a gentle way until there was you. I've 
discovered something wonderful about you . . . something that took me by surprise.  I've known for a long 
time that you were someone special, sensitive, gentle, romantic . . . always bringing out the best in me. 
But now I realize that you're so much more than that . . . You're my friend, the best friend I could ever 
imagine. I never dreamed that such a perfect combination could exist in one person. But you are and here 
I am . . . loving you. For my sweetheart, My special friend. Your loving wife, Marie.
