Charlie, I only have fond memories of our many conversations. Sincere condolences to the family who will miss you as many of us here at BMNTC.
I knew Charlie as one of the youngsters growing up in my neighborhood and as an afterschool Bible club attendee. I am praying that he will be appreciated at the foot of the King as much as his Earthly friends appreciated his loving and kind manner. Thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to friends, family and loved ones that knew Charlie.
Robert Epps….All My Love….
He was my very best friend growing up in Christmount. We swam at the pool and played on the playground and tromped through the creek… One time i was at my house and heard him screaming down the hill and ran like the wind to check on him. I loved him and still cherish our friendship to this day. My son’s name is Charles… I will NEVER forget him and the friendship we had.
