Mrs. Charlotte I am going to miss hearing you talking about your dad. I never met him but the conversations, the joy on your face when she spoke about him. Mrs. Charlotte's family became my family just by her coming into work daily with a smile on her face talking about her family. Mrs. Charlotte your dad was well taken care of by you, and your family. He was happy and you all made sure he knew he was loved. No more pain and suffering, he is at peace now and he will continue to live through each of you.You all are in my prayers. Ms.E Sambrano

My daddy was a strong man of God. He would call daily to have a mini Bible study always wanting to grow more spiritually through studying the Word of God. I am truly going to miss our talks and hearing him praise the Lord for His goodness. I am thankful that he knew that he was truly loved and the life he lived serving God is his legacy for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I love you daddy! Charlotte AK Holliday
