"FRIC" PAINTED THIS FOR US!

Franklin "Frack"& Dianne Gardner

March 25, 2018

Dianne and I send our most respectful heartfelt condolences to the family of this great lady. God only made one "Charlene" Brazell, then rightfully so threw away the mold. God also picked the most perfect Love of her life, John Frank Brazell. Her heart was broken, when God called him home. We were very active in our church, PSBC, KEENAGER program. Dianne was always in the kitchen with Rose. Frank called"FRICK," was leader. We met the 3rd Friday of every month. "FRICK" led the singing and then turned it over to me, "FRACK," Frank and I led the devotionals. I, "FRACK" am ahead of myself. Pastor Sam Catoe, gave the two "FRANKS" in the church the name "Frick" and "Frack." Remember Frick led the singing, and could he sing. Frack led the preaching! Whoa, I am not a Preacher-though, I have preached; I am not a Teacher-though I have taught; I am a "Reacher" because God has given me the talent to REACH-My wife calls me a CREATURE, not bad at all--Charlene would laugh and sing with me, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow--Even CREATURES, here below! Sam Catoe left PSBC in the hands of Frick & Frack to sing and reach at Bible Study while he and Joyce Charles and Juddy (May she RIP) Price flew off to Paris. We did well, my problem is this, I along with other PCSBC members sat with Charlene at Palmetto Richland when Frick had Carotid Artery surgery, this was on a Wednesday, and I prayed with Charlene. Frick made it ok. Kat Bailey (May she RIP) did not. So many of our members of the Park have graduated to their Eternal Celestial Home. Frick was called home, Pastor Sam had already retired and moved to Kershaw. Charlene called SAM, you will officiate my FRANK'S service, and that's it!-That he did. In Sam's tenure of only 10 years, preached over 250 such services. PSBC has populated Heaven with our very best, CHARLENE now one of them was welcomed by her John Frank, who met her at The Eastern Gate, Aubrey was singing a duet with June Cooper, "His Eye Is On The Sparrow." Charlene's beloved Frank, told her, you're gonna like it here. "My goodness," Charlene said, "You even made me "Boiled Peanuts." He said, "We don't have Dianne's Deviled Eggs, however our friends from the Park up here have church like we never experienced it on earth!--It's so much better, no gossiping, just all in one accord. No Shealy's Bar-B-Que--"We can finally lose that weight together!" In Heaven, this was Charlene MARIE Brazell's Queen for a Lifetime in Heaven. All the Pastors since 1912, Paul Wheeler who Frank and Charlene did not meet. "Fog Horn" Robert Deneen, given that name for his deep voice was, I believe the first pastor to preach in the new Sanctuary in 1954. CHARLENE MARIE BRAZELL Enjoy Eternal Life, with your Frank, "Frick" and "Frack" is not too far behind, It's God's call when He calls me home and my call to be READY, when He does--Charlene "Frack's" ready, ya'll leave the light on for me --now that's not Indiana talk! (We would have been at Elmwood, both of are sick with cough, colds and Dianne's is worse with Laryngitis, can't say one sound recognizable by me, PTL-(We chose wisely to stay home)

I am sorry for your all lost. Charlene become one of my favorites in the short time that I had the privilege of taking care of her and I am saddened that I will not be able to get to know her and more about her. I am glad I was taking care of her on her last day @MMCH. She'll always be my stubborn #1 and I'll always be her trouble #1. I will miss her dearly!
