Cheryl I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your Husband. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
My heart goes out to you and your family. I only met Charles one time and we sat side by side for a long time. He was such an interesting person and told some very interesting stores. He was sharp as a tack! So glad we got to meet.
I remember Charles coming to Texas with his parents and Joann when I was a little girl to visit. All I really remember about him was he always made me laugh. I will hold those memories in my heart. My prayers and sympathy to my cousins family.
Cheryl and family,
I first met Charles through our Sunday school class and developed and great friendship with him.
My parents also had the great pleasure of knowing him snd they instantly became friends as well.
Charles was a wonderful man and will be missed by so many.
You are in my thoughts and prayers and have my deepest condolences.
Love you.
Susan Chapman
My heart is with you all right now. He leaves a lot of devoted family and friends and is welcomed into heaven by just as many there. Gone in body, but living forever in our hearts.
