I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many memories of Charles Eddie, one of my many cousins. I remember he would call me just to talk and he also called when he came to Memphis. I have memories visiting him in Brickeys when I was a kid and enjoyed seeing the trains past by. I have so many found memories of seeing him at all of the many Rowland get togethers in Marianna.
I pray for everyone in your family at this time of grief and know you are missing a truly special and caring person.
Blessing to everyone.
Love,
Brenda
