Alexandra Chatilovicz McAuslanDear Uncle Chuck, Camille and I were so sad to hear that Tina had passed. We are very sorry and send all our love to you. You two had a special bond that all should aim for! When I last saw her with you both it was so nice to laugh and talk with her. She had such a calm, positive way about her. I am sending peace your way during this grieving time. I did want to let you know that Aunt Tina must have seen our baby boy Bronson coming from heaven on her way there as the baby was born healthy on 12/29/17. I know she was excited about the baby and wondering if it was going to be a boy or girl. We love you deeply and plan to come see you our next trip to Wisconsin. Rest In Peace Aunt Tina and our love to you Uncle Chuck.
