Katherine,
I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Charlie's passing. I always enjoyed seeing him, loved his big smile, and genuine laugh. He was such a good person and was always kind to Melissa and I. Mom and Dad thought a great deal of him, too. I know in my heart that Daddy was part of his welcome party into Heaven. I always loved his love of Jesus. Mom was very saddened by his passing as well. Please know that even though I cannot be in Marion at this time, that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this sad and difficult time. God's grace is sufficient, and he always knows best. Love and Prayers,
Dewayne, Melinda, and Ean Sprinkle
