Eula and Charles were such dear friends when we came to the Avery Parish. Charles took me under his wing and was always available to help me with my ministry. He preached in our churches whenever called upon, and Eula was always by his side. Having lost our mothers, Bonnie and I share your sorrow and loss. Please know that you are in our prayers.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you. God bless you and your family during this difficult time and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
