Will miss my dear friend, Charles, from St. Mary's Cathedral that I sat with every 4:30 pm Saturday Mass. We would always share a hug and small talk. My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I saw him 2 weeks ago at church. He would always speak highly of his family and kids. Peace and love, Marty Klinker Utley

To Chuck's family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, may that bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Marcia, I seen your Dad's passing in the J & C, I went to school with you at Goodland. I still give your home as a landmark for directions, turn just past the house where Egan's lived. Drives my kids crazy but they knew where all the classmates lived when we went to school in Goodland.
