In the wake of Dr. Charles Dale Alexander's passing, our hearts ache with the weight of loss, even though many of us never had the opportunity to meet him. Through the stories and memories shared by Aaron, we glimpse the depth of his character and the love he radiated. While we may not have known him personally, his legacy of kindness, strength, and guidance echoes through the words and actions of those he touched. As Aaron and his family navigate this sorrowful journey, may they find solace in knowing that their father's spirit lives on in the love and memories he leaves behind. Aaron, our thoughts and support are with you and your family during this difficult time.
