I am so sorry for your loss! This devastated me when I found out it was them! After my father passed away, Charlyne always invited me over for Sunday lunch. I remember T.D. And Charlyne in my kitchen after my father's funeral and at their home for Ruby's birthday party. Please keep in touch: 817-781-6322.

Cheryl, Kristina and your dear family,
My heart is aching today for your loss!! I became so very fond of TD and Charylyne when they were purchasing my home in Grapevine -- every time I looked up there was Charlyne wanting to show it to "just one more" friend or family member!! My love and prayers are with you -- and I'm so sorry I will not be able to be with you and your families personally for their memorial service. I am sure it will as sweet as both of them were!

God Bless,

Julie

Tim, Debbie, and family, so sorry for your great loss. I was invited to there home when Charlyne's sister, Dorothy pass away. I know Charlyne & T.D. made me feel at home and like family. I will miss e-mailing T.D my funnies.

In your heart, just know that they loved each other, they lived and died together and will now love together in Heaven. Just as they will live in our hearts as well.

God wanted to two new Angles in Heaven on Tuesday, because he had a special place for them and it was time. But that will not take away our love in our hearts and we still will miss they always.

I remember spending 3 weeks in Germany with them and celebrating their 40th anniversary. Here's a "schnipps" for T.D.! I will miss his dry humor and chuckle. Charlyne was a true angel. She was full of compassion and loved life and her family and friends. She always had a glow about her. My heart aches but know they are dancing with the angels in heaven. I will miss you two!.... until we meet again....
