    Lula Mae you are my inspiration. God gave to you a promise he made to you. He saved your husband after many years of not giving up in your prayer life. You have given me hope for the future of just how real God is and can be. We love you for who you are and who you stand for (Jesus) We will see Charles again when we get to heaven God Bless you. Love Sendy King

    Aunt Lula Mae I'm so sorry to hear about Uncle Charlie. I didn't even know he was ill. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. There are so many good memories related to our families. All the times you and Charlie took us in when Mama and Daddy needed help. I remember all the fishing trips, picnics to Cherokee and of course the many family reunions. I wish I could have told him how much I appreciated both of yu for taking such good care of my Mom and Daddy both. I love you and I loved him very much.
