Sheridan, AR Tuesday, May 27, 2014 Vicky and family, I am so sorry for the passing of Hugh Charles. He was a great man as well as a husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend to many. May God wrap his arms around each of you in the days ahead for comfort. He will always be looking down on all of you and smiling.I found the following as a comfort to me each day.
"You can she tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he has ived. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him, only that he is gone. Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what he'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
Love you all,
Your cousin
