I still think about Charles. When I open my jewelry box, I see the earrings he made and I'm glad I have something to remember him by. Many fond thoughts of Charles! XO

Dear Sandy, Kori, and Chip,

Steve and I are so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed getting to know Charles when our booths were next to each other at Shelby County Farmers' Market. Market was a good place when he was there and when he wasn't next to me any more it just wasn't the same. He was a lot of fun and someone I really enjoyed talking with. I really missed him the past few years. Take care of yourselves and hold fast to all the love and good memories.

Much love,

Karen and Steve Kennedy

Sandy,

Sylbia and I were so sorry to hear of Sonny's passing. We were in Florida when it happened and did not get the news until after the funeral. Our prayers are with you and your family during this trying time. God bless.

Coach Rogi will always be a part of my life. Take comfort that the lessons he taught me from 1971-1973 as a player have been passed to my players for over 30 years myself as a football coach. He taught me the importance of self discipline, work ethic, pride in my appearance, and how to work with others. He has shaped and molded hundreds of young men over his lifetime. I will be forever greatful for the tough love he provided . I appreciate all the times he made me do leg lifts, called me a sissy, smacked me with the B bopper and always at the end of the day we understood it was show. He made sure we knew he loved us all at the end of every practice. Go Colts 1971 Champs!!!

Dear Sandy, Chip and Kori,
We loved Sonny and the great memories we've shared since school days. It's wonderful to know that he's now seen the face of Jesus, His Savior. May God comfort all of you during this time. Love and blessings.
