Dear Charles Family,

To loose a loved one is never easy, the only comfort that we have is to know that our loved one went home to be we the Master and that if we continue to live for Christ, we will see them again when we go to be with Him also. My prayers are with you all.

Dea. Charles always had a way of making me feel special. I was so happy to see him last Sunday and he looked wonderful. He was always so happy when he was in the Lord's house. I know heaven is rejoicing to have one of its best saints home. I will miss him so much. You are all in my prayers.

To the Charles Family,



Though we are very saddened by Pops passing, what brings us great joy is that he is with the Lord. I (Leidell) am going to miss him placing his hat on the amplifier before taking his seat on the deacon board. Yet we do look forward to seeing him again.



Know that the Lord is the God of all comfort during this time in your life and always...
