    Dear Yvonne and family ~ I am so sorry to hear of Charles' Homegoing to be with our Lord, but I rejoice in knowing that all of his pain and suffering are over and that he is at Home in the presence of our Lord, and we have that wonderful assurance that we will see him again one day - never to be separated ever again! Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you walk thru this time of temporary separation! You and Charles have always held a very special place in my heart and I am so very thankful that the Lord allowed our paths to cross on this earth and to be able to share the wonderful Christian love and friendship we have shared all these many years! What a blessing you both will always be to me!!! With my Love, Prayers and Deepest Sympathy ~ Alton

    Dear Yvonne says:
    We will miss the seemingly always present smile of Charles and although knowing him only for a short while, it seemed evident to us that he was a man of tremendous character and love for others. Our Prayers are with you during this difficult period. Gene and Mary Ann
