Kathy.... Sad to hear this. Saw Charlie and Barbara last year at the 4th of July fireworks in Narrows. It was good to see both of them and we got to catch up on life. Please tell Barbara that we are sad to hear about Charlie and both of you will be in our prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We barely saw each other but every time I did you would remind me of Granddaddy, so favored him so. You were always so kind, I wish we had, had more time to get to know each other.
