    I met Charlie and Denise over 30 years ago at Family Worship Center when it was on 169 highway. We became good friends very quickly. As I began to know Charlie more, i realized how onery he was and we loved teasing each other. It was so obvious how very much he and Denise loved each other. I prayed with them many times for a child. I remember them saying the doctor said they couldn’t have children, then after a while, and many prayers, they had 2, twins. I always felt a close connection to the whole family and I am heartbroken for Sam and Hannah’s loss. I am thankful to know they are with our Lord.
