Annette, Glenn, Kenneth and Families,
I was shocked to hear of Charles passing. I had actually read it under a friend's post just tonight. Please know I would have been there if I had heard about this. There are no words I can say that will comfort you at this time except to just let you know I am keeping you all in my daily prayers. Sending you all lots of love and hugs.

So sorry to hear of Charles' passing. We went to Delgado Presbyterian Church with him and his family when he and I were kids. I always thought highly of him and he was so talented. He will be missed by so many. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
