I'll Miss

Your bright smile

Your Charlesisms

Your call each morning to make sure I arrived safely to work

Your advise when I'm trying to work something out

Our reminiscing about our past and our pride and joy- Beloved Max

The way you took the time to make sure I had everything I needed

Your daily lifting of compliments

Your baseball yell- Come on Tigers!!

Your take charge attitude about everything

Your call each evening at work when you simply said-

call me when you're rolling

Above all these things... I'll Miss You

Known for Excellence. Trusted for Value.
