We were so sorry to hear of Charles passing. Always enjoyed being around him. He was a good photographer and you could tell he really loved it. Bill & Sandy
Mary Ann and family, sending love, prayers, and condolences on the passing of Charlie.
Mary, I was so sorry to learn of Charles passing away. Unfortunely, I never had much direct contact with Charles, mainly thru our family genealogy. It was always a great pleasure to talk with him about our families. I personally knew his Grandfather, as my Uncle Charlie – he and my Grandmother Mary (Howard) Cosner were very close. My Mother Lucille Shoup was a cousin to Ethel, Berniece and Irene, so I knew them, too. I will miss our conversations and hearing the family stories.
God Bless and be with You and all your families in this time of sorrow and loss.
Most Sincerely,
Martha Shoup Fleming
p.s. Pardon my lateness, I just last month moved to 4 Captain Lane, Salem, South Carolina, 29676.
Dear Mary Ann,
My thoughts of sympathy go out to you and your family. Martie Frohn Hayes

Godspeed Charles. Now eternally reunited with your loving wife Mary, June 20, 2024, and other family, friends and loved ones gone before, or since.
