Sheryl,
John and I so sorry to hear this of Charles. We hadn't seen you guys in a while but always enjoyed the times we did have together in the past with you both. We all grew up together and have many fun memories at the rink. I know Charles took a part of all of his family with him, and you all will have a part of him in your hearts forever, and many loving and fun memories that no one can ever take away. He stayed as long as he could with you all, now he is in a wonderful place and will wait on you all to be with him again someday. Please know that we are thinking of you and your family in this time of charles passing. Your freinds always John and Peggy Bestell
