A Poem In Memory of Charles Herman Randles
Charles you will be missed dearly
Although you are not physically present
We feel your spirit as though you were standing beside us
We will cherish your friendship forever
Remembering all of these
The simple chats and laughter
Sitting on the front porch listening to natures call
Spending time together
Tinkering with the many projects
Your guidance and wisdom
Your gift of passion and kindness
We pray for you daily
The Journey ahead is blessed.
Its calming and comforting
knowing you are now at peace
The pain and suffering is no longer
God has called you home
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest
You will not be forgotten
Thank you Charles for your friendship
Thank you Charles for the precious memories
Thank you Charles for your guidance
You are truly an Angel of the Lord
We will always feel your presence within our hearts
Thank you Charles for giving us faith.
Thank You - until we meet again
God Bless

Dan and Family,
Over the years I have grown to love your dad as though he was mine. I will always cherish his memory and the times we spent in his house reading the Bible and praying together. Many time I would share at his encouragement my own troubles and trials. He faithfully prayed for and with me. Once in a while he would drive to Ankeny or give me a phone call because he said he missed our time together and my children. As you have know his love for each of you and your children, he gave mine a portion of his love and show of concern for them. I thanked him for that over and over.
I praise God that he is now out of this world and not being hampered by the pain and frustration that his illness brought to him!!!! Yes, we will all miss him but it is only for a short time. Jesus will be returning and will call us all home to be with Charlie and every one else who calls upon Jesus as their Savior.
Thank you all for allowing me to share your Dad and Father for a while here on earth.

Thinking of you all and remembering your family in prayer - and remembering your parents and the joy of getting to know them in their visits to Charles City and stopping by their house in D. Moines. Kings

We wish your family God's peace and comfort. Our prayers and love are with each of you.
I can remember as a kid- getting to stop by the Randles house after a Calvary Baptist field trip and their graciousness of welcoming a van load of kids/teenagers into their home and bathroom!
Love & Prayers,
Sarah & Rob Schmidt
