Although I never met Charles, I did meet and keep in touch with his daughter Nancy. She is a generous, kind and loving person which I attribute to her parents. I am aware of the close relationship she had with her father and mother and that she has with her entire family. May God's Peace and Joy that passes Understanding sustain, comfort and guide you always.
