Uncle Charlie

     Uncle Charlie was my Grandma Stewart's brother. Tall - so very tall - and so kind & gentle. We always loved seeing Uncle Charlie when we went to visit that side of the family. And we loved to hear the stories they would tell of times when they were younger. Such funny stories ..... stories of times so different than now (they grew up in the late 30's and 40's). My grandma passed away in 2005. Then we got word on Friday that he was gone too. Rather sudden - but then, death is rarely expected. We'll be heading down tomorrow for the funeral which is Wednesday. Dad will be performing the service, my sisters and I singing. We'd appreciate you prayers.
