My fondest memory of Charles is of his ever calming presence in the toddlers Sunday School room, for more years then I can remember. I'm not sure if he was there with Ms Alice when I was a toddler, but he was there every Sunday when my three children were in need of his quiet comfort. My thoughts are with you all but I also rejoice for the life he lived and the example he lived for his children and their children. June Morrison Osterholm, Cypress, Texas
