I knew Charlie through my friendship with Mildred. We are old friends tried and true. My memories of Charlie are his great sense of humor, love for FSU football, and his warm, welcoming nature. He could always make me laugh. My prayers go out to my dear friend Mildred, Allison and Brooke. May God bring you much comfort and peace, and may your memories of life with Charlie bring you healing. I love you all.
