To the Swinson Family, we are truly sorry for your loss. Just know that Charles is still with you in spirit and that God will comfort you. My husband and I used to work at the laundry mat on Jahnke Road and Charles used to come in there all the time to talk to us when we were there. We will truly miss him. We will keep you in our prayers.

Charles and I went to Blackwell together. He was such a nice guy. I hadn't seen him in many years.
Family, I know you loved him but God loved him best. Charles has made the transition that we all must make and that's from Earth to Glory.
May God continue to bless each of you, wrap his arms around you and cover you in the precious blood of Jesus Christ our lord and savior.
Charles Rest in Peace until we meet again.

To Roe and family,
My deepest condolences to all of Pooh's family. I met Pooh years ago when he worked with my dear friend Honeybee. He was truly a person who enjoyed life, whenever you saw Pooh you saw Roe. I remember the days that they welcomed you to their home (Arch Rd area) and those were just down home good times. Please know that my prayers are with you and family in the passing of such a nice person. God will give you strength to endure your pain for weeping may endure for a night but Joy will come in the morning.
Take Care and God Bless,
