Mary, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Take care and blessings, Eloise, JJ, Valdy, and Erik
Mary and Family, I was distressed to read about Charles in today’s paper. Regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance we are never ready to lose our loved ones. I still remember your Mom and her cheerful personality at the switchboard at City Hall. Our only comfort at this time has to come from a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. Please know we are thinking of you and will hold you in our prayers. Joe
Charles was a dedicated railroad employee, he loved his family and was a good friend.
Mary, you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
