I first met Chuck at First Baptist Church when were both in junior high. Although we went to different schools, Chuck was a great friend and always made me laugh. I don't ever remember seeing him without a huge smile! Chuck's mother was a dear friend to my mom and also was my Sunday School teacher at FBC and she has been such a blessing to our family. Even though it has been many years since I have seen him, it is with a sad heart that I say goodbye to Chuck. I regret that I was not able to be at his service. My thoughts and prayers are with Chuck's family. My mom always had a special place in her heart for Chuck and I know she was one of the people who must have greeted him on his arrival into Heaven. Much love to the Lynn family and I pray that you will find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have of Chuck.
