The Brogdon family- my sincere sympathies to you and yours. My son Jon Barry and Charlie (Bubba) were great friends in school and it was so heartbreaking when he left this world. I know dad and son are together again and hopefully it brings peace to you.

"My condolances to the Brogdon family...I met Charlie's son Jimmy about 11 years ago. We were in Surgical Tech school together...I had the oppertunity to go deep sea fishing with the Brogdon's (loved it, couldn't wait to do it again) The last time I saw Charlie I was able to pray with him and Gigi...I know he is with the Lord!...I pray "peace beyond all understanding" and may the Holy Spirit comfort my "family" during this time...I love you Brogdons"
