I am thinking of all of you tonight and my prayers are with you. You are a loving family and I know your good memories of Charles will comfort you in the days ahead. I think God sends a new baby to help us remember life is for the living. Mary has a new granddaughter and you will soon have a precious baby. Charles will be rejoicing in heaven at his reunion with his loved ones. Remember you are all special to me. Peggy

The Little Family, I met Charles as a pre-teen in Saltville. I remember him working on his studabaker. Also we were friends, then, Haven't heard from him in years. Was surprised to see that he had gone to Heaven. It must hurt deeply and hope over time it will be less painful. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
