Mary, We’re so sorry to hear of the loss of your loving Father. I didn’t know him well but I’ve heard such great things and know he will be missed by so many. You are so lucky to have had him share your families lives for so many years. I’m sure you will smile when you think and speak of him.

We just heard from mother of Charlie's death. Lisa and I share our sympathy from Washington. We will always remember and treasure his kind and gracious spirit. It was rare for my grandmothers to agree, but both of them were tremendously fond of Charlie and Betty. We hold lots of great memories of your family on our little branch of the family tree. Blessings to you Mary. Matthew Keith

I’m so sorry that I just learned of Charlie’s death. I have so many fond memories of him as a child. He and my Daddy Dr Ernest Lanier were great friends.. Charlie was so good about sitting with Dad in his last days so that dad would not be alone. Charlie was a good, kind and caring person. He will be missed by all that knew him.
