My deepest sympathy go out to the family. ????
Char was an important person in our lives. She would enjoy taking time to talk with my son about school and anything sports. She knew more about the Bears than anyone we knew. She was one of a kind and will be greatly missed. Char...here’s one last GO BEARS.
