    Charles, It was a privilege and honor to get to know you and Judith. You are such an inspiration and example of truly dedicated love. I witnessed you as a loving husband and supportive partner to Judith the entire time she was at Hendersonville Health & Rehabilitation. May she rest in peace and may you treasure all of the wonderful memories of your 38 years together.
