Gail, Toby, Josh and families...I was so saddened to read of Charles' passing. I'm sorry I was sick when it was time for his service. I remember sitting in his office, and we'd talk family - we were related by a past marriage or two - and we'd talk about the folks we knew in Jesup and around. Many prayers for peace at this time, and I hope that many happy memories of the times you spent together will be a comfort to you, also.

I spent many of those 20 years when he was at Riverside helping me with many print jobs I had during those years. During that time, we became friends who I respected greatly. He was a great person and friend!

Gail: Our prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time. I have fond memories of you and Charles from our time together at Aunt Verniece's apartment house. Charles was "salt of the earth" which did not lose its savor.

I am so glad for the past two years, reconnecting with Charles & Gail has meant so much to me.
I know my faith & trust in Jesus has grown during this time. I talked to Charles only last week & I will cherish the times we've had together. He will be greatly missed, until we meet again in Heaven. Prayers for Gail & this special family.
