    Brian, Barry and Brent- I have so many warm and loving memories of your Mom and Dad when I was small and later while Granny and Pap were still living. They welcomed Charlie into the family as if he had always been a part of it -as you guys did to. When my Dad died in June Uncle Bill came (that is when I found out that Aunt Carol was ill) and it meant so much to me for him to be there. Your parents both made coming down to Mitchell like coming home and we will deeply miss both of them. Our love and thoughts are with you guys and your families now and forever. Love, Sheri Lynn and Charlie
