Chuck and Sharon,
I am sorry to read about the death of your father. I saw the posting when reviewing the posting for my Dad's obituary. Although we may have seen death on the doorstep and prayed for a peaceful passing, we still grieve and mourn the loss of someone we loved so much. We buried my father today. Our sorrow is deep but we can look forward to the joy we will realize in recounting the beauty of his life. I pray that the memories of your father bring your the same comfort.

Charlie, Dave, Jerry, Nancy and Randy,
I was sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Growing up as neighbors and classmates I could always see the strong family ties that he and your Mom instilled in all of you. Those ties will keep you strong getting through this.
