WHAT A BLESSING TO KNOW THAT FATHER GOD HAS TAKEN ANOTHER
SOLDIER HOME... AND A SOLDIER HE WAS... MY MOST PROMINENT
MEMORY OF CHARLIE WAS A CONSISTENT ONE THAT BEGAN YEARS
AGO-- AS A SINGLE DAD, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WATCHING HIM
NURTURE (WHILE HE WORKED) HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER.... THAT WILL
ALWAYS STAND OUT IN MY MIND... I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE SACRIFIED
MUCH TO DO THAT, HOWEVER, THE FRUIT HE PRODUCED FROM THAT
SACRIFICE WAS HIS SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND CONSOLATION
DURING HIS LATTER YEARS... ALL I CAN SAY IS "IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE
KNOWN HIM" ...... BLESSINGS AND LOVE TO MARGARET (WHO GREW UP
TO BE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LADY--PARTLY BECAUSE OF HER DAD'S LOVE
FOR HER), AND MY SINCEREST CONDOLENCES TO ALL WHO KNEW AND
LOVED HIM, ESPECIALLY NIECES AND NEPHEWS.... THANK YOU JESUS!!
