Not sure what to say?

May God give your family the strength to bear this loss. May He bless Charles' Soul with Peace. If I were asked to tell an accomplishment of Mr. Thompson's, The answer would be easy. He, along with his wife, have raised a daughter with Integrity, Family Values and Respect. He has been a Loving Parent. That makes Him a Great Man.

Vicki, while I never met Chuck personally, I know he was a fine person because of the love you displayed for him. You wanted the best for him, and now he's enjoying it. It will help to remember that he's with his family, and not alone. God bless.
