My heart is broken for the loss of Uncle Charles. No matter how many miles seperated us, I always knew that his loving voice would bring a smile to my heart over the phone. He was always such a loving and caring person. I will miss him so much. To Mary and the children; God be with you and hold each other tight. You shared in his life and you will always be a part of him. Share him with others always through you smiles and the love in your hearts.

Uncle Charles say hello to Momma for me. I went to bingo last night in your honor and quess what? I won $6.50 !!! I'll love you always!
