We are sorry to hear of Uncle Cham's passing. He was indeed a unique character. I will always remember his cigar and opinions as we watched football games after Sunday dinner at Grandmama's. He always had a story for every situation and in most cases, the story had a funny ending. Our sympathy goes out to Aunt Mary, Jean, Kim and their families. May God bless you through this time. Love, Peggy, Pickens, Andrew, Caleb, & Aunt Alice.
