Lt and Family, Sorry for your loss. God bless you all.
Charley Day was my favorite uncle. I spent a lot of time with him, Aunt Sallie and my cousinss while growing up in Southeast Texas. Whether he knew it or not, he taught me a lot about what it meant to be a father and what I consider a “real man.” When I suffered the deepest sorrow in my life several years ago, he was the first person I wanted to talk to. He had a special way of brining comfort to me. I will miss him very much. Aunt Sallie, Charley Jr,, Tim, Craig and Brian…you are all in my thoughts. Love you.
LT, I’m so sorry for your loss. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. John 14:1
