Dear Frances, I hope you will remember us. We were in Gainesville 45 years ago when we first married. I recall fondly you and Charlie being there as well as Gayle and Chuck. We were so sorry to learn that Charlie had passed away. It was announced at church tonight in Tampa at the University congregation. We know you have much faith and we pray that God will give you peace in the days ahead. Mike and Ann White

Dear Mrs. Frances and Family ~
I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Charlie's passing; however, I know that Chuck and Gayle met him at the Gates of Heaven, and welcomed him to his eternal home! What a great reunion that was ... Mrs. Laura, Mr. James, Mrs. Myrtle, Mrs. Virgie, and all of your family and friends who have passed away. I know Mr. Charlie is in Heaven because he lived his life as a Christian; he was truly an example and blessing to all who knew and loved him!
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Lean on Our Heavenly Father, your family, your friends, and all of those wonderful memories you have with Mr. Charlie, and these will help you through your time of grief.
I love you very much!
