Patsye and family, we were so sorry to hear about Charlie's passing. What wonderful neighbors you were for so many years (34!). I enjoyed good times outside with Eunice, taking to you and Charlie. And so many years of gathering my "signs of spring" from yor redbud tree. You two will always be remembered in the neighborhood. Loved hearing the Christmas music one last time. How very special. Our prayers are with you, Carol and Don Schneider. You are in the prayers of Trey and Jill and their families also.

Your Eastern Star Sisters & Brothers love you so much. Especially in your moment of griefing and loss. You know in your heart, he is no longer in pain, but the lonesome, empty space will be there for quite a while. There is no weakness in expressing your pain & loss, but great misery in trying to pretend it doesn't exist. We love you and will listen or just hug. The option is yours, but it is always there.
