I had the absolute pleasure of caring for Charles when he attended Bridges Adult Day Center. He would always enjoy a cold pepsi and resee cup after his shower and we would often watch Hocus Pocus to pass the time till lunch. He was one of my favorite clients even though he always said he hated chicken Alfredo. I have thought of him often and will miss him greatly. Rest in peace my friend❤️
My Mom (Mary Lou Campbell) and I (Jenn Campbell) had the pleasure of delivering Thanksgiving dinner to Chuck from the Hot Meal Ministry. Mom and Iknew Chuck and his family when they attended services at Trinity Memorial in the 1980s. He was my Sunday School teacher, his wife Cindy took me under her wing and let me help with costumes at the library theater. I was friends with Shawn and Jamin, and pray that Chuck’s surviving family find comfort and peace and may they have the best that life has to offer them.
