You tried for me, for us and many of the people who were privileged to encounter your kindness and your love. Thank you for allowing me take care of you.❤️

“Thank you for being That Great Woman who gave birth to The Icon, CharlyBoy. Thank you for teaching me how to care, to love, to live a simple and humble Life.

“Thank you for constantly reminding of my pedigree and my very Rich Heritage. I wish you would have waited just one more day, but I guess you didn’t want me to see you go, because as usual I would have talked you out of it, I know we both hate goodbyes. Greet Papa when you see him, tell him I have been holding forth. Gallant as ever. Love you my Darling Mother. RIP.”
