Betty, Chuck and I are so very sorry for your loss. Charles was a wonderful man and so visibly strong in his faith. Chuck was just geting to know him well and share "Mississippi" stories when they were around each other. What a loss for you, your families, our Church and of course " The Creek Boys". Just know we love you and will always be here for you. May GOD grant you the peace and strength you need during this difficult time.
Love and Peace- Tina and Chuck Smith.
