I am devastated that we lost our dear friend Charmagne. My deepest condolences to the family. I attended two dinners that the Woodards hosted. I really enjoyed breaking bread with fellow church friends. My heart embraces your soul dear Arne. This is very difficult to face. I know the path you take, as I lost my beloved husband. Take things one day at a time, and welcome the love and company of your family. Don't make any decisions on very important matters for at least 3 months. Take this time and mourn, heal, and remember.
