Charlie was a dear friend of ours and will be sadly missed we had just gotten back from the Ocean City beach so we had a great time together we will we always remember that and always remember how kind-hearted and generous she was love Joan and Glen.
I taught school with Charley in Nebraska. Charley and Scott were dear friends of mine and were close to my entire family. Scott went hunting and fishing with my dad, they had a special relationship. I visited them in Virginia and they visited us in Florida. I have very fond memories of her. Praying for her children and grandchildren. Knew Brian and Renee when they were young but wouldn’t expect them to remember me but my heart goes out to them. May God bring you strength and comfort now.
Charley was only at CommonwealthSL for a short time but she touched many of us and will be missed. May you and she rest in peace.
Charley will be greatly missed. Loved spending time with her. She was a special lady. Rest in peace. Love,Bonnie
It’s so hard to believe that this vibrant, active couple is no longer with us. Charley & Scott were such good friends when we 1st knew them at Blytheville AFB that we chose them to be our daughter Storme’s Godparents, knowing they were raising Brian & Renee in a way we admired. Although years would pass when we wouldn’t see each other, as our USAF lives took us to different parts of the world, we always stayed in touch & connected whenever we could-always laughing & sharing memories-and often over the Bridge table. We already miss them. Grateful for a beautiful friendship that spanned nearly 50 years. Bunny & Paul
