Charmaine "Charly"'s Story
Life
(2005) "Charly" and Bill (yup, da same guy... married since 1972)are grandparents! Who'd a thunk it. Two great kids, Bill Jr (Bj) who is 31 and daughter Breighan who just turned 21. Still writing books, songs, singing and joking around like a lunatic. We're avid sailors (Captain Charmaine) and sail often. Currently, we are having the time of our lives living aboard our sailboat down in the Florida Keys and sailing the Caribbean. Fabulous. Follow our adventures at our website: SeptemberSea dot com (had to put it in this way!)

On Memorial Day 2005, our son Bj, 31, lapsed into a diabetic coma after contracting a flu virus. He is survived by his son, William D. Ladd III "Wil...Expand for more
l." Tragically, my mother, Essie, also died that very same day. Double dose of a sad reality. Bj was aboard his sailboat in St. Croix at the time of his death. He was an avid sailor and had sailed 1400 miles from the Keys to St. Croix in February. Only there a short time, all of Christiansted knew him. Memorials were held for him in Springfield, IL; Marathon FL; and Christiansted, USVI. A Type 1 diabetic (only 7-10% of diabetics have this type) he was determined to live his life to the fullest and not be held back by anything. You can read more about him at our website (SeptemberSeadotcom)[use a period instead of the word "dot"].
