We met Methel & Charles in Hollis Center, Maine. It was also a pleasure to spend time(10 years)with Methel during her time in Snellville, GA. We were also blessed with the opportunity of helping her & her son move to Louisiana where she spent her last three months enjoying her grandson and her his family. We will always remember how happy and content she was in her new home in LA.

I have many memories of visiting Maine with my folks - my Mom was Uncle Charles sister- and spending time with Aunt Methel and Uncle Charles. They came to New Jersey to visit with us on many occasions - always had a good time catching up - and sharing memories of the past. Even these past years we managed to keep in touch by e-mail and cards.- Both Uncle Charles and Aunt Methel are missed. Paula (Nagle) Christie -

To my Nephew Charlie, I am truly sorry to hear of your Mother's Death; I shall miss my telephone calls from her; she was my sister-in-law but also a true friend.

Love to all...your Father's Sister in NJ - Aunt Dot

Mother and I were blessed to have spent her last 3 months living in LA with my son, her grandson, Dr. Charles Kimball III, and wife Connie and their son Josh. We spent many wonderful days walking at the park near the lake, family dinners and games. So many wonderful memories of my beloved mother. Now she is walking on streets of gold with Jesus and my dad. She will be greatly missed.

- Her loving son, Charles Jr.
