Marilyn, Kenneth and family. Bless those who mourn, eternal God, with the comfort of your love that they may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful, their days enriched with friendship, and their lives encircled by your love.
My prayers are with you.
We're Clara Morris's (from LSOP) son and daughter. My mom had the highest respect for Charles and spoke often of his invaluable input in union affairs. He was the little brother she never had, and he always had a voice in difficult union decisions. My wife worked in Production Planning with him and still speaks of his faith and his calm and cool approach to various assignments. When I returned from Viet Nam, Charles was one of the first at work to greet me with that big smile, telling me he was excited to see me safe. I know in my heart that right now Jesus is smiling back at that big 'ol grin.
