So sorry for your loss. Your fond memories of Charles will bring back good thoughts. My sincere condolence.

I am so sorry for your loss. The scripture promises us hope. Joh 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice.

To the family of Charles Payne my deepest sympathies. Celebrating a life well lived, you will cherish the memories forever. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Psalms 62:8 mentions, "God is a refuge for us, pour out your hearts at all times". I hope you are able to find some comfort now and in the days to come.

He did great things in his life... A warrior for these united states and other countries.. rest in peace.
