I am so sorry to have read of your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. Something that I have personally found to be of great comfort is what the Bible says at John 5:28, 29 as well as Revelation 21:4. These verses show us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family as well. Again I am so sorry for your loss.
My sincere condolences to the Ballard family for your loss. Without a doubt Charles will be missed! During this time of sorrow, many have been comforted by mediating on the wonderful promises that God has put in his word the Bible-2 Cor. 1:3, 4!
Jehovah promises to bring a end to the enemy death, bringing it to nothing-1 Cor.15:26! That verse helps us to appreciate that there will be a victory over death! What a wonderful time that will be!
The Bible even helps to appreciate that there is hope for our dead loved ones! Jesus helps us to appreciate that we can be reunited with our dead loved ones again by means of a resurrection hope-John 5:28, 29! Jehovah has already given Jesus the keys of death and the grave-Rev 1:18! That means that one day Jesus is going to call out to our dead loved ones, and they will come out just like his close friend Lazarus did-John 11:21-45! How overjoyed we will be just like Lazarus family and friends! Please feel free to email me at: jkingdom90@gmail.com if you have any questions! I sincerely hope that your family will be comforted!
There was a Chuck Ballard I served with in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam 1969-1970. We were both on the same tank for awhile and I have two or three pictures of Him. If this is the same Chuck Ballard I am sorry to hear of His passing. Please feel free to contact me.

It was called the SUNSHINE LODGE. It was close to downtown and Her name was Ann T.
