Dear Chuck, Lorna, Lorne and Family members: I am so sorry about the passing of your father. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Charles was a wonderful, smart and knowledgeable gentleman. Often when I visited my aunt (Ada Harvey), if he was outside we engaged in conversation. And also, when I would pick up my youngest granddaughter from he and your mom. I know that losing a parent is difficult but Charles' life will be a lasting impression. I pray for your peace, happy memories and continued faith. Blessings for each of you. God only takes the esteemed!

So sorry to hear of the passing of Charles. We were classmates at Berry O Kelly High School. He was an excellent student. We did not keep in touch after we graduated high school.

Dear Cousins Chuck, Lorne and Lorna, My heart and prayers are with all of you now. I was so sad to learn of Charles' passing. I know this is a tough time for each of you. I have several fond memories of Charles. At Harris family gatherings, especially funerals where I had to speak in public, I would always find Charles' face in the crowd. He was pleasant and encouraging with his sweet smile and focusing on him always gave me courage and strength to make it through whatever I had to do. That was Charles - always pleasant. I remember how proud he was of all of you and how hard he worked to take care of you. He and your mom, our cousin Laura Ann made the cutest couple! I hope you find comfort in knowing he and your mom are now reunited in sweet peace and are with the angels watching over you.

Love, Cousin Brenda Jo Scott Bowden
