Lib, Mark & Meridith,
We were saddened to hear about the passing of such a wonderful man. We remember the many softball games and how he'd be Merideth's biggest fan filming every single game. Take comfort in the many memories and know that he is now with Jesus and we too as believers will see him again. May your hearts continue to be filled with those wonderful memories of the joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

Lib and family, much love to you as you celebrate Charles's life. We still giggle with 'lizzie about the Sunday school times in the moldy basement at Lithonia First. May you find comfort in your grief as you remember the good times and feel the love of friends at this time.
