Dear Monica,
Please except our deepest sympathy.
Love John & Lisa
My greatest memory of Charlie are the times we spent in CR meetings and the day
last summer that Charlie & I spent together touring the Eckley mining village and other mine sites. I loved him
and will truly miss him. Charlie was not
only a Great man, he was also my friend.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. There's a saying that goes...Life Is God's Gift To Us, What We Do With It Is Our Gift To God...and from Carol's Email to us, Charlie was a devout Christian, so I'm sure he did it well. May you find peace in knowing Charlie's at rest & you'll see him again some day.
In Christ,
Kay
