I am so sorry to hear about Chuck. He was such a nice cousin. Always had a smile and ready to talk. I remember aunt Vi Telling me about when he went into the service. He was 17 and wanted her to sign for him to be able to go into the Navy. Aunt Vi told him she would sign, if he promised her he would not get a tattoo. He kept his promise. He was a good son. Sending prayers and love to all of you.
