Charles D. Ponder Sr.

So very sorry for your loss, we will
keep you all in our hearts.
Carthur and Lyn Fisher

Mr. Ponder,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USN during the Cold War as a crewmember of the USS Okinawa(LPH 3)-especially during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Margie, Cheri, Charlie & family - I thought I would share a very sweet memory. A couple of winters ago, I stared out the window during this terrible snowstorm and thought I don't know how I can shovel this driveway. No sooner had I thought this when Charlie pulled in with his plow down. He was smiling, and all he said was don't worry darlin I'll take care of you. He will forever remain in my heart.

Dear Cheri and family,

Some people are one in a million - like your Dad. I believe that ALL the great memories you have with your Dad will always be close to your heart - HE IS WITH YOU ALWAYS. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mackenzie and Family,

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Your Papa was such a nice man. You will always have a special place for him in your heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Charlie Jr., I am so sorry about your father. I am sure he was a wonderful man who you will never forget. My sincerest thoughts of sympathy. God Bless you and your family. Wilks

I cannot say in words how sad i am for your whole family. As you all know I love all of you. I wish I had heard sooner. I just came home tonight and heard. You are all in my thoughts.
Margie, Cheri, Charlie and your families.

Dear Margie, Charlie, Jane, Cheri, Bill, and children;

I am terribly sorry to hear of your loss, as you and I are aware Charles Ponder was a very kind and thoughtful man. He was remembered in my prayers, and still will be.

As the days move forward, it is my hope, your kind memories will sooth your broken hearts.

God bless,
Jean

Margie, Cheri & Charlie
I was so sad to read about Charlie's passing. When I saw Cheri last she had told me he has been sick. He was always such a great guy. Our thoughts ae with you during this difficult time
