Cindy Burkhart Martin I am so sorry to hear of Charles' passing. He was my cousin and his son Brett and I share a birthday. I always thought that was special. I have very found memories of us being little and staying at Uncle Bill's and Aunt Doris' lake house with all the cousins. They were the best family and we had the most fun. He had a beautiful smile and laugh and was so sweet. I will miss him.

Brenda Watson I met "Duffey" at our church in Southmont. He served at The Upper Room Food Pantry and was our church's contact person for the pantry for many years. I got to know him better as we served there together after I volunteered. Jilda was his reason for living, his constant companion, his love. They were both more than gracious with their home, their time, and their care of family and friends. I miss them.
