To my brother Charles. I will not forget your hardy laugh,your staw hat you wore when you rode your tractor and how you made up jolly songs.You love to work and plant on the farm. I remember it so well when I was a little girl. Your family turned out to be so loving.
Oh my what a special gift you gave them. Save a place for us up there so we can see you again. Love & Prayers Your sister Emmajean

To all of the Haas family. Pappy Charles will be missed by everyone. He loved to laugh,loved his family, and especially the grandkids. He never tired of taking a walk around the farm and showing off his animals. His kindness was expressed with a big smile and accompanied by a huge laugh. I remember him for his acceptance of my other grandkids when they came to the farm. He treated them like they were his own. God's love and memories like these will bring you comfort and peace as you begin the healing process.

I would like to express my sympathy to the family of Mr. Haas. He delivered my newspaper and was such a kind man. May you find strength from one another in this time of grief. He will be greatly missed.

Dearest Dad,

I can't believe you are gone from us here on earth. But as we look through your old photos, I realize you left more behind for us than I thought. Almost every picture of you has you wearing a plaid shirt -that must be where I get my love of plaids. As I look at your old work boots I see they are a size 10 EEE, which is where I get my wide feet. When I see my sister Sandy grin or give a half smile, I see your grin or half smile. Since my brother Ron was your only son and our only brother, I know he had a special place in your heart and he misses you very much. Dad, you left behind a legacy for all of us, myself, Rose, Linda, Ron, Kathy, Sandy & Denise, a good work ethic and the ability to laugh (even if Mom thought your jokes were a little off color. We will take good care of Mom, each other and your two little dogs. I still can't believe you are gone from us, but please know that you will always & forever be in our hearts.

Your oldest & loving daughter,

Debby

UNCLE CHARLES, YOU WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

UNCLE CHARLES, YOU WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
