Dear Lucy,
Our prayers and hugs go out to you and Charlie, Jr. I remember all the good times we had with you and Chuck in the fellowship. We thought about you two, often, and wondered how you were doing. We live in Yankton, S.D., so don't know much about happenings in Iowa so much anymore. Except that, so many of our dears friends are leaving up for that big meeting in heaven.
Love and hugs, Pat and Milo

Dear Lucille, Charles Jr. and Jim,
Larry and I are saddened to hear the news about your husband, father, and brother. Since we have lived away from the Springfield area, we have not seen you many of the times when you and Chuck were in Springfield.
Larry traveled to Iowa once during the 1960's to pick up an automobile and swung by your Dad's place visit and grab a shower. Larry has chuckled many times about your Dad sitting outside the door of the bathroom visiting with him while he cleaned up. Uncle Ed didn't know Larry but he knew Pat so he was eager to visit with "family."
Pat recalls the times Ed visited and took movies of everyone in the family. Remembered also was the time all the siblings traveled to Kansas to attend Roberta's funeral when Jimmy and Chucky were youngsters. We were all sorry you had lost your Mom.
Larry and I wish all of you comfort and peace and God's blessings on your lives.
Larry and Pat (Sharp) McKinnis
Pat is the daughter of George and Lottie Sharp. George and Chuck's Dad, Ed, were brothers.

oh my Lucy, It has been a long struggle for you. First your Mom and then Chuck. You are to be commended. No one knows the struggles you had. I would see Chuck in his chair around the nurses at the station and always speak to him Sometimes he was calling for you. He has done his purgatory on earth and now he is in Heaven with our Father. Do not grieve Lucy as he is in a much better place. Shake that tamborine in glory and thanksgiving the Lord called him home I remember his party from graduation at the fireside picnic shelter. Remember good times you have had Lucy. May God grant him eternal peace and may teh Lord hold you in the palm of his hand and give you the necessary strength to get you throught these trying days ahead...
