We cannot imagine what a difficult time of the year it must be for the entire Venters' family, especially Genie, Neal, Andrew and the grandchildren. May the many fond memories each of you have of Charlie, help you through this change in your lives. May God bless you and keep those fond memories ever before you.

Aunt Ola, Genie, Andrew and Neal,
You have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard the news about Charles. We had such a wonderful time, a few years ago, visiting when in Washington. Our Andrew Neal still has the golf clubs Charles passed along to him. These are great memories.
Love you,
