It was an honor and pleasure to know Chuck. I have missed seeing your family! Chuck always had a smile for me and I doubt he knew how much it meant to me. Thank you Chuck. God Bless you on your journey.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. -- May your memories bring you comfort. Our deepest condolences --Sharon and Mike Cook
