I am sorry to hear of the passing of Claude (or C. C.) as a lot of us called him. I worked for years with him at the Asheville Police Department and we became good friends while we were working. I had a lot of admiration for him.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I know what it feels like to loose a parent.
The world won’t be the same without you Uncle Bob. You were a fine man and oh the stories you could tell. You will be missed. With much love, you are home now.
My sincerest sympathy. May the God of all comfort strengthen your family during this time of sorrow. Those who die God keeps in his memory because he cares, they are precious in his eyes. Psalms:116:15. Psalms 83:18
Kelly,I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Grandfather.I lost my own 2 years ago so I know how it hurts to let them go.For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believeth in him shall have eternal life.

I didn’t know Claude but his son Mike. From times he spoke of him he was funny and enjoyed life. I know he will be missed!
Those sowing seed with tears will reap with a joyful shout.’? (Psalm 126:5) May God provide you and your family with peace, comfort and (eventually joy) during this difficult time. The Bible shares a wonderful resurrection hope for future. I pray that you find comfort in the wonderful promises of John 5:28, 29 and Acts 24:15.
