April 27, 2018 at 8:33 amCharles was the 2nd resident at LaVare’s House and did so well I made him the manager. He will always be the model I use for future managers and residents. His character, humor, selflessness and courage is something we all can aspire to and I am and will always be, proud to have called him my friend and grateful he was a part of my life. May you Rest In Peace sweet Charles. ❤️

In living no man knows when we will be called by name to surrender life, yet in Jesus it is well. Know that you know your personal relationship is sure with our true God. Charles will be missed, yet I am so grateful for the time shared with him in new life. Be comforted as he had once comforted “you” in living. May grace and mercy follow you.
