It is hard to believe that in 5 days it will be two years since you passed away Pop. It seems like only yesterday that I received the call from Sis. I talk to J'Leigh, JJ, and Faith about you every chance I get. I know that you would be proud of your Great Grandkids. J'Leigh and Kyle are expecting their first child (Boy) in June, JJ is an MP in the Army, and Faith is a Senior in high school. Nicole is getting her Realtor License and she loves her new job. Judy & I are both retried and love our new home. You are loved and missed Pop.

Marilyn, I know that you loved my Pop and that you miss him. May GOD continue to watch over and bless you. Thanks again for all you did for my Pop all those years.

Our sympathies go to you, Marilyn.
So many times our thoughts have gone to Charles. We first knew him and Marilyn while attending Sunday School Zig Zigler classes there at Immanuel. He was a good man and quite likeable. He will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Mr. Johnson was a great influence in my youth and I appreciated his concern for teen-agers. His impact on my life and on those of many others will continue through eternity. I wish I could be in attendance, but health concerns prevent me from coming at this time.
