Ms. Charles is my sister Susan’s mother-in-law. I can remeber how nice she was to me as a child when her son Don and my sister would take me and my little brother Bobby out to the family farm out by White Church. I enjoyed helping with the farm work and eating her home cooked lunches. She was a sweet person who will be missed. I’m sorry that I won’t be able to be there for the funeral due to me living in California. My condolenses and best wishes go out to my Brother-in law Don and his brother Ronnie. God Bless You all in this time of saddness.
