All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. I have heard many many wonderful things about Mr. Charlie from his niece Sheila and also Shelia's son and daughter-in-law (Pete and Rachel). May God wrap his loving arms around the entire family during this time of celebration (for a life well lived) but also a time of sorrow saying goodbye.

Ruth, God bless you and your family today. There are not too many brothers and sisters that talk together every day when they are so far away from each other. There will be a void in your life but so many wonderful memories. Love you. Brenda and Glendon W.
