I will always remember how patient Charles was with his grand children and his great grand children.
It was always a pleasure to see him at the family gathering and I shall always see him smiling.

Dear Charlotte, Paul and families,
We are so sorry that we cannot be with you at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and will be in the days to come. I know it's not easy losing a Dad and Grandpa that you've been so close to. He was really special and I'm sure you have lots of wonderful memories to enjoy and be comforted by. We always loved getting his letters, from all over the world back when he was in the AF and then from Washington when he retired. He helped us know you all, even though we never had much chance to be with you personally, being so far apart geographically. He talked about each and every one of you and your special ways that were so dear to him. It came through in all his letters. You have a wonderful family to be proud of.
Also I enjoyed my visit back in the 70's when I had been in California for the summer missionary job, and came up for a couple of days before coming home. Like Carol said, it was so nice getting to be with family far away from home, and getting the royal treatment from your Dad and Mom and all of you that were around. I'll always remember making a snowman in August at Mt. Ranier park.
Thanks for your love back then and now. May our loving Heavenly Father comfort and sustain you in the days and weeks to come. We love you all. Doug and Amanda send their love too.##imported-begin##Gaila & Darrell Neathery##imported-end##
Dear Charlotte: My heart goes out to you during this time of sorrow. Your Dad must have been a very special man to raise such a nice daughter like you! I know you will miss him; but you will always treasure your memories of happy times together.##imported-begin##Evelyn Nystrom##imported-end##
Char,
Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted"
You and yours are in our prayers and our thoughts. Remember to lean on the Lord, for He is your comforter. He will never forsake you. He understands all of our sadness and our joys and will always be there to listen.
I send love from all of your TOPS pals at TOPS #WA98, Lakewood.

I just want to thank my grandpa for being such a wonderful man and always taking the time to ride bikes,play in his wood shop with us,waking us up at 4am to help with his paper route, and running over all the curbs in his car (we figured he did this to embarrass us). Most important thanks for the lemon drops he has supplied us ALL with over the years.I will forever instill in my mind grampa with a camera in his hand snapping pictures of all of us every chance he had. I will never for get grampa's little sayings of "I'd do the same for a friend" and "I'm fine as frogs hair". Last but not least, thank you grampa for the smiles you gave to us in your last few days to let us know that everything was ok. I LOVE YOU
P.S. Thank you Aunt Charlotte for taking care of grampa (and grandma)all of those years!##imported-begin##Tabitha Singleton##imported-end##
