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 so sorry for your loss. We did not have the chance to really get to know Charlie, but we have heard a lot of stories about him. We also had the honor of going to Vegas and to see his halter hanging on the wall of honor. We are here if need us. We love you and your whole family.

Donna, I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Coty, Chip and I are so sorry about your loss of your Dad. We know that's a painful loss. May the Lord bless you and your family today and always. -- Mary Biesemeier (Marisa's aunt)

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.

Our family will miss him very much. Donna,our love to you for your continued support, love and friendship to Uncle Charlie.

Charlie was an amazing uncle. He was quick to tease and connect with his nieces and nephews but just as quick to lend a hand when assistance was needed. I am sure he will have a good story to share with those he sees arriving at his next rodeo. Donna, love to you for your continued love and friendship to Charlie.

Charlie was a great man he helped a lot of people. He will be missed a lot

DONNA: The rodeo world lost a good contestant, stock contractor, and most of all, a friend. May you find comfort in knowing the far reaching world in which
the two of you existed, is feeling the loss and offering you sympathies and care.
Your HANDS sisters are sending prayers and support. Yes, there are some good
