Ms Grillot, Kaye, Patty, and Mary Agnes (that is what we used to call you)

I am so saddened to hear about the loss of your dad.
This is Loretta Zamora (Roybal) (grew up with you and lived next door to you). I will never forget your dad. My memories of your dad are all good ones. Your dad was always smiling and always ready to help anybody, at anytime, and was very energetic. Ms Grillot, my condolences,and may the Lord give you the strength to carry on. You are the sweetest lady that God has put on this earth. The memories I have of you and Mr Grillot are very good ones and I pray that the Lord will give you and the girls comfort and peace. God bless you, and I will keep you all in my prayers.

Mary Catherine and family,

My family and I are saddened to hear of Charlie's passing.

Charlie was the first neighbor my parents met while helping me move in across the street. My mom right away asked if I'd met Charlie, and when I told her I hadn't, she just raved about what a nice man he is and how I am lucky to have such great neighbors. As soon as I met him for myself, I knew exactly what she meant.

I'm so thrilled to have met Charlie. Seeing him always made me smile, and my daughter Caleigh really liked him too. I am glad we were able to sit and visit together for awhile last month. I know Caleigh was quite entertaining for him that day!

Catherine, you are a wonderful lady. I always enjoy chatting with you out front. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Love in Christ,

Lara (Larissa) and Caleigh Martin

I am so very sorry for your loss. I always loved seeing Charlie, when I was the receptionist at Sacred Heart just a few short years ago, he was the greatest guy! I hold you in my prayers.

Patti,
Although I did not know your father well, what I did know was that he each time I saw him he was very pleasant. My thoughts will be with you and your family during this difficult time.

Take care,
