    Mary, my deepest condolences to you and your family in the loss of Charlie. I will miss waving at him as he sat outside the house. I remember when he use to walk around the block by my house and said he couldn’t wait to get home! He will be missed but no doubt that he is out of pain and suffering and reunited with family members in Heaven.
    Rest in Peace Charlie

    Amanda and I are praying for Mary and the entire family. As one of the many “Freeman Cousins” who are more like “brothers and sisters”than cousins, I am so proud to have been related to Charles and all of the rest of Uncle Freddie and Aunt Ruby’s children. I pray that at this time you will take comfort in knowing that Bubba was loved and respected by so many family members and friends. I also pray that you will take comfort in the many years that you all spent together as family.

    Your Cousin,
    Dr. William Oliver, son of Aunt Alberta Freeman
