My deepest sympathy to you, Betty, at this trying time. We loved Charlie very much. Even though you will miss him and nothing anyone can say right now to comfort you, know that the Lord is with you and He is the greatest Comforter of all.
I have the best of memories growing up and working with Charlie on the farm. He was always full of enthusiasm. Made the work fun. Was patient with the young guys. He was someone to look up to.
Dear Betty – We were sorry to hear of Charlie`s passing. I`m sure the many friends that he had in Louisa County are saddened by the loss of such a good man.. We have a few memories, but you have many, and your memories of Charlie will always be with you. All our love to you. The Jordans
