This is horribly sad news. Penny, I’m so sorry you are going through this and that you are without him now. From what I’d seen of Charger on the boards, he was a wonderful person. Know that he’ll be missed and that we are here for you if you ever need or want someone to talk to. Take care of yourself and may you and all of his loved ones find peace. Hugs, Kemi ---
