Posted on: Saturday, February 27, 2021Charlie and Mary were like a mom and dad to me. I will be forever grateful for the chats and hugs at the front door. Their loyal dedication to the Salavation Army and Retirement Homes was second to none. The Lord was always first in their lives, their family came second and other people were next in line. All that knew them were blessed. I hired Kevin at Hastings Inc. and he worked for us before his death. I also knew Brian. All children and grandchildren were deeply loved. Charlie and Mary were close and losing Mary was a very deeep lost to Charlie. He endured and made the best of his wait time but longed to be reunited with Mary and his Master, the Lord himself. Now his wish is fulfilled. One day, I hope to join them in Heaven. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are now with the family and they have lost big time.
