Dear Family of Charles,
My sympathy goes out to all of you. I know Charles is free of his suffering and that is a blessing. I am his cousin, Mary Ann Von Stetten Carroll. I am sorry I can’t attend his services because of prior scheduled medical care. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. It is hard to believe that another Musser cousin has died. We had so much fun together as children. Charles was the younger, shy one and I had no idea of what he had accomplished in his life. It is gratifying to know that he had a loving family to support him during his last days.
Sincerely with love,
Cousin: Mary Ann
