Read MoreWhen there are no words, there is always memories. One of mine is when a restaurant in Warsaw, MO was closed and turned over to the Martin clan for their annual after Christmas gathering. Of course they got to eat as well. What fun and laughter, lots of love and Charley was definitely front and center.
