Ms Joyce, I am so sorry for your loss of Charlie. You were my lifeline with Debbie when she had her surgery. I lost my dad this week as well. You are in my prayers and my thoughts as you travel this difficult time.

Papa, I am happy I got the chance last week to have one on one time with you so I could tell you how important you have been in my life and how much of my life I owe to you. You were the greatest grandpa a person could ask for. You embodied character and goodness in all of your actions and it was something I was privileged to be exposed to my entire life. I would give anything for one more phone call or home cooked meal with you and grandma. I love you eternally and you will live on in my heart and my actions for the rest of my life. You raised a great son, who I was lucky to have raise me, I owe so much of my quality of life to you. Thank you papa, I miss you so much. Love, Mikey.

Dear Joyce and family, sure going to miss my Uncle Charlie. His smile, sense of humor, love of family and God. Always, enjoyed our lunch times at Frankie's, just sitting around the table with family talking about the past and present times. Monday, when Charlie took his last breath here on earth, there was a big Hesselbein family reunion in heaven. Oh! What a meeting that was.
