Sarah and family: We did not know your husband / father well but when we saw him, usually at the post office in Charlotte, he always had a smile and it was easy to see that he was a good man and why he was loved by everyone. We are very sorry for your loss and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We know that he is now with his Lord and Savior and all of his earthly problems are gone for eternity.
