Billie and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Charlie was a blessing for all. Nathan shared stories of the great fishing trips. Four generations he certainly made the day for Steve and Nate, joys they will forever hold in their hearts. We will miss seeing Charlie at Steve and Amy,s gatherings. I know he will be there in spirit. Fond love and a hug,

I will always cherish the good times we had over the years. He was a super nice person and always treated me like family. He will be missed. The family will be in my prayers. Even though it is a difficult time for the family, Charlie was blessed, what a great Christmas present for him! He is where he is supposed to be...in God's arms protected and safe and no more pain.
Love, June
