Irene & Family~It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Charles. He, along with his parents, Frank & Effie, held a special place in my childhood memories and always seemed more like family than friends. Please know my thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time. Paula Johnson Almond (daughter of Sam & Mavis Johnson)

Irene, I'm so sorry for your lose and know it will be hard to adjust. But knowing he is with the Lord I'm sure will be a comfort. The Lord will also comfort you and the family. I share in the sense of lose, since I lost my husband soon be 17 yrs. Know that I will be thinking of you and the family prayerfully.
It's been so many years you may not remember me, but you, Helen and I use to have some good times.

Irene, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Charles. It is so comforting to know God prepares a place for His own after they leave this earthly home. It has been a long time since we have been in contact, but I think of you often. God bless you and your family.

I remember "Charlie" from Northview as a kind and Christian man. Roy and I always liked him and Irene a lot. My deepest sympathies go out to Irene, Gail and Mona as I know you will miss him terribly. He is now free of pain and in the place he always looked forward to being one day.Betty Thompson

Although I did not have the privilege of getting to know Charles well, I have the wonderful priviilege of having his daughter, Gail as a dear friend. Gail and her sister Mona are two of the most sweet and giving people you ever want too meet. These girls learned well from Charles and Irene. I know he will be sadly missed, but he is now whole and healthy again, and with his iLord.

Irene and family: My thoughts and prayers are with you. The scripture in Isaiah 43 came to my mind today. I want you to know that GOD will walk with you in this difficult time.

May GOD comfort you as only HE can do. Psalms 46:1.
