  1. Audette, Tim, Terry & Family:
    I am so sorry for this great loss. I have so many wonderful memories growing up with you all. From the singings to lunches after church you all were much more than friends…you were family. Charles certainly lived a Christian life and now he is in the most wonderful place. I know Heaven has gained a true saint and he is walking those streets of gold with Mom. What a homecoming! We two have that promise that we will meet again. I know this is one of the most difficult times you will face but with Gods grace he will see you through. You will be in our prayers.
