Too soon! Mother is having knee replacement surgery on Mon so we talked about visiting Charles tomorrow Sun. She wanted to visit before she would be confined to hospital and rehab. We are all very sadden by how quickly he passed.
With love & condolences
to all the family,
Phyllis, I was so sorry to learn of Charles’ passing. We know he is healed and at peace, but no matter what, we’re never ready to say good bye. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this very difficult time.
Please accept our deepest sympathy in Charles’ passing. We have fond memories of Charles and the family while you were at Central Baptist. We are remembering you in prayer.
Sincerely
Weed Family: Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and your beautiful family. We feel blessed to have gotten to know Charles, his great sense of humor and warm smile. All our love, Your Boynton Buddies Shelly, Paul, Nathan, John & Michael
Family:
Having met Charles through the Gwinnett Shrine Club some 20+ years ago, I never met him that he did not smile, extend his hand and ask “how are you doing?” No doubt a great husband, wonderful father and a friend to all. This world will be a little darker without his smile and good nature. Our best to all the family in these weeks, months and years ahead. What a great man and wonderful Christian.

Phyllis and Family, please accept my sincere sympathy in your loss. Having grown up with Charles on Midvale Road and then through 12 years of school at Tucker, I learned that he was indeed a special person. Having become widowed recently myself, I know your loss and subsequent grief is almost overwhelming.
Please know that prayers are being lifted up for your strength in the coming times ahead and that Charles will be missed by many.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with all of you. Love, The Calvert Family
Sending all our love and prayers to your family. We feel your loss from
here. Please know we are thinking of all you. Love, Judi, Tony, Jake and Gray

Phyllis, Jimmy and I are deeply saddened by Charles’s death but feel blessed to have known him. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through the many stages of mourning this special man of God. May God strengthen you in every way in the days ahead.
