Thank you.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I will never forget Charlie made me a deer call when I was about 13 (37 years ago). I had never heard of such a thing.
Rest In Peace Great Uncle Charles. I always enjoyed visiting when Mamaw and Papaw would take me there.
Dear Charles and Julia and family, so sorry for your loss, but so thankful that your father is in heaven with his Lord. Your sister in Christ, Annette Allen
