So sorry for your loss. Charlie always spoke and talked to me when we were in Vegas for the finals. He was very lucky to have such a special lady to love and care for him all these years. I know it was hard for both of you for such an outdoors man to be confined. Now he's tall in the saddle again.

Donna, you are an "angel" here on our Lord's earth, God just never outfitted you with wings. Charlie was so in love with you and he never failed to show it. Being the strong Christian lady you have always been, our Savior will comfort and keep you in his ways during this trial of life. My love and support will always be there for you. I cannot help but know how green the pastures are, how many great critters he'll live with, and the cowboy/cowgirl reunion he is experiencing. Happy Trails, cowboy!!!

Words are so hard to find... I lost one of the greatest men I have ever know. He was so tough on the outside but so kind in the inside. I will miss him so much! I will definitely miss hearing him call me 'Tubby". Always teasing and joking around but serious whenever teaching us about horses or rodeo. I will never forget the summer spent rodeoing with Donna and Papa Charlie. So many things learned and love that was shown.
Donna: I will always be here if you need someone. My prayers are with you. Thank you for taking care of my Papa Charlie. We love you.
