Charlie, it will be 3 years tomorrow since you went away to the "house not made with hands" to be with Mom, Mabel, Arlie, and all our loved ones who have gone there before you. I miss you so much and when Cara told me the news 3 years ago while I was in the hospital with pneumonia it was hard to bear ~ and she was crying her eyes out. You were her favorite uncle! It's still hard for me to realize I can't pick up the phone and talk to you ~ but I do talk to you through thought and prayer. Your wonderful wife and children keep in touch with me via phone and computer and I always feel closer to you when they do. ~ I am thinking of you and my other family members who have made the journey you have made. And I love all of you and will, with God's help see y'all one of these days! Missing you, your Sister, Bettye (aka JettyeBo)

Daddy, 35 years ago I gave birth to your oldest grandchild. He was an amazing baby, boy and teenager. I wish you could see him now, Dad. Grown up...a husband...a father...a Naval hero. I know you would be so proud of the man that he has become. I love you, Dad. Thanks for hanging around here the past couple of days and watching over us. I knew for sure it was you when THE GREEN, GREEN GRASS OF HOME by Englebert Humperdink started playing on my phone for no reason at all! Miss you, Daddy. I love you! Love, Princess of the Realm

Charlie, It's a couple of days since the
4th of July & I was remembering how you &
I used to "play like" we were soldiers & march around & around the front porch on
Water St. in Whitesboro. We would march to the music of a "John Philip Sousa" patriotic record playing on the victrola in our "Front Room". I am so glad I have all these good memories and so thankful God gave me a great brother such as you! I miss our phone calls in the later years and hearing your laugh!
Love, Your Sister, Bettye

Daddy, Thank you for helping Margaret wake me up when the gas was on! She was so scared...and I never heard her calling me..or felt her hitting me.. but I did hear YOU telling me to GET UP! I still feel a bit sick...but fortunatly, I am ok. Who ever thought the CAT could turn a knob on the stove? If I had not heard you calling to me..and then heard Margaret too...I think I never would have woken up. There was just too much gas in the house. I know you saved my life, Dad. Thank you. Thank you for letting me hear you when I really needed you! I don't even want to think about what would have happened to my baby girl if I had never woken up!! It is too awful for words! I love you, Dad. Thank you for staying close to us...and watching over us. Love, Princess of the Realm

Daddy, Christmas is almost here...I am missing you terribly. As we put up the tree this year, Margaret asked if we had ever had a "REAL" tree. I was reminded of that Christmas exactly forty years ago now....that I got to choose the tree! Remember, Dad? We went out to he woods behind our house...and I chose the biggest and roundest tree I could find and you cut it down with that smelly old chain saw!! It was so great because we had that huge cathedral ceiling in the living room!! Sadly...my poor tree was so lopsided that you had to tie it to the curtain rods to hold it upright!! I am still laughing...remembering how funny it was...you up on the ladder...and how special I felt to get to choose our family tree. I misss you, Daddy. I love you...Princess of the Realm
Love you, Daddy

Daddy, Father's Day was really hard this year...I bought you some Kit Kats...Margaret ate one...and I told her to fix the wrapper as though he candy bar was still in it...we left i on the kitchen table...I knew you would appreciate that!!
I am still looking for the right bench to put under the apple tree for you..I hope I find it soon...it will be nice to have a place to go...where I know you would like to sit if you were here at my house.
I love you, Dad.

In a conversation I was having with my daughter, Cara, just the other day I was telling her how much I miss the phone calls Charlie and I would have through the years. It just doesn't seem possible that he's been in Heaven for a year and seven months already. There are still times when I think, I need to call and chat with Charlie. And then I remember that the chat will have to be a spiritual one ~ a time of
remembering how much fun he was and how he always cheered me up and made my day better when he talked about different episodes of our growing up days. For instance, when we were what we called "grammer school" age and we went to the movie on Saturday nights. One such night we had our dimes and were waiting to get into our only movie theater and he dropped his dime in a drainage grate on the sidewalk. We thought he would have to miss the movie, but ever resourceful kid that he was ~ he took some chewing gum and put it on a stick and retrieved his dime and to the movie we went! So Brother,Dear, I'm remembering you this evening and missing you SO much. I know you are seeing wonders we could never imagine when we were kids. And now you are where Mama, Arlie, Mabel and my Mary were awaiting you. What a wonderful thought! I love you & miss you more than I can describe. Your Sister, Jettye-Bo.

My love and sympathy go out to my Uncle Charlie's family. I wish I could be at his service on Tuesday. Uncle Charlie could always make us laugh, espec. my Mom (his big sister, Bettye). So many families don't have that closeness, so we have been blessed. God Bless my Aunt Mary K. and her wonderful children.
Love, Cara

I'm deeply sorry about Charles' dying. I'm also sorry that I can't make the memorial as I work 7p-7a. I would just love to say how much I owe to the Davenport family, especially during my formative high school years with Dave and his ever so colorful family. While I was intimidated by Mr. Davenport it was his laugh, his storytelling, and his organ playing that I really enjoyed. "All those...figurines!" May God grant you grace to get by.
Much love,
Mark Carter

Mary Katheryn, My deepest sympthany and much LOVE to you and the kids. Chuck was quite a person and always so good to me and my kids. I will never forget his generosity, all the food products he would bring home from Quaker Oats. The dining room table would be busting with all the new cereals and bisquits they were making. All the fun times we had a your house, Cristmas , birthdays and the memories my kids must have. He will be missed, but now lives in the Glory of God and with all those who preceded him. We will not forget the promise from above that we will dwell in the house of the Lord together and forever. See ya soon Chuck. LOVE, Hugs and kisses to all the family

Uncle Charlie will be greatly missed by all who knew him. It was my priviledge to be able to call him "Uncle" and to have all the fond memories of every vacation trip we took during summers to visit him in New Mexico & California from our home in Texas. Three of the best men I have ever known (Uncle Charlie, Uncle Arlie and my Dad Woodrow) will now be together in heaven. I know they will enjoy each other's company once more, God Bless them, It is with deep regret that I will not be able to attend the services for my Uncle. Mary Katheryn, family and all my cousins are in my prayers.

In my heart I will always remember Uncle Charlie with his cute impish grin. He so loved to tell jokes, but he strung them out and made you wait for the punch line, then laugh and laugh. Keep them laughing in Heaven Uncle Charlie.

My thoughts are there with all my brother's family tonight. I can't imagine thinking of him gone. He's been a presence in my life for so many years.
Some of my first memories are of Mamma pushing him in a wicker-like buggy
when we went to church. In our small town we walked everywhere we went.
Later when we were growing kids we went to the Princess Theater to see the latest movie. That was big for us. Movies cost a dime then & we went with every change of movie, (black & white). Charlie Chan & The Thin Man, and, of course the Westerns. There are so many memories, it would take a book to tell them all - but he always was a fun person & very outgoing. In later years, when we talked on the phone, he loved to tease me about my "singing days",
our Dad thought I could be another Judy Garland - HA! And Charlie would go
to my performances & make faces at me from the back of the room. I love to
think back now to all these memories. As we aged we would discuss our
hometown & early days. His children & mine liked to gather round to hear
his olden time stories. Now when it's time to say a last "goodbye" I am recovering from pneumonia and must say it from afar. But knowing him, he would say, "That's O.K., Jettye Bo, you just get well". That's the kind of brother he was and I'll miss him terribly - but I know it can't be terribly long before I'll see him again - where he will say, "Hi, there!" Until then, I miss you, My Little Brother Charlie!
