Dear Charles and family,
It was a pleasure knowing you and Isabel and all the family that I have met over the years. Isabel was such a dear friend--I will miss her. I will also miss our little chats. Take care of yourself. You were so good to Isabel. May God bless you abundantly for taking such good care of her. I will be praying for you and everyone--that you will all come to know the Lord and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. God bless you always,
Jo Anne
