Barbara Jane, Lisa & David,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Charles. He was a wonderful man who I was blessed to have known...although I hadn't seen him in a while I had always heard good things from the kids when they were around him. All of you are blessed to have had a Godly husband and Father. He was a true example of what a Christian should be. I pray that God's peace, love and comfort surrounds you during this time. Draw on the wonderful memories you have had and keep them close to your heart during this difficult time. I can tell you it never gets easy losing your Dad...I still miss mine but I have peace knowing he suffers no more and is with Jesus just as Charles is
