Many of you have asked where to send cards, flowers for the funeral Mass, and whether there are causes Chuck would have liked donations sent to.  Thank you for your thoughtful and generous offers.  Below is some information I hope will be useful:

For those wishing to send cards:
The Charles Conaty Family
P.O. Box 69
Basye, VA 22810

For those who would like to send flowers, please have them sent directly to St. John’s in McLean where the funeral is to be held, for delivery on the morning of April 12th.
St. John the Beloved Catholic Church
6420 Linway Terrace
McLean, VA 22101

If you would like to send them to our home, please email me at rebecca@conaty.net and I’ll be happy to share our address.  Chuck loved sending me flowers over the years and we always had fresh flowers in our home so blooms would of course be welcome if sent to our home or to the church for his funeral.

Having a Mass offered for the repose of his soul would also be welcome by going to your local Catholic church office.  They keep a log of when these Masses are offered and often have acknowledgement cards for you to send to the family.  Chuck would have like this very much.

For those who wish to donate to a charitable cause in Chuck’s name, please consider donating directly to any of the organizations below or to any organization you think Chuck would have supported:
