Mr Charles was a wonderful man and I enjoyed taking care of him the few files that I was able to. My prayers are with all of you as you mourn his passing. He was a very sweet and caring man who I looked forward to seeing from time to time. May you celebrate the amazing life that he lived !!!!
Bro. Charles was an example to all in his walk with Christ and in the way he loved others. He was an awesome prayer warrior and our family felt honored to be on the receiving end of both his love and prayers. He was a hero for Christ and someone we looked up too. He will be greatly missed here but we know that his home going is a great celebration in Heaven. We pray that his family will feel the presence of the Lord around them and be comforted during this very difficult time. We love you all!
Bro. Charles was a Dear Friend, a Faithful Christian and a Wonderful Prayer Warrior. He lived his calling daily in ministering to others. I will miss him greatly!

Linda, Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. My hstand is in the deep sleep stage right now and we are just waiting on God's timing. I know these days will be difficult, but I have found He is true to His word. He will sustain you and comfort you and give you a peace beyond understanding. I'm praying that for you.
I was so sad to hear about Charles. He meant a lot to me when I went to Bethel before moving to Columbus, Ga 4 months ago. He was a very sweet man and we all loved him. He will be greatly missed.
Linda and Family!
Our hearts are heavy over your loss of Charles, a kind, caring, and generous giant of a man who loved the lord, with all his heart. Charles gave most of his life comforting others, and helping those in need of a healthier and more spiritual life.

Charles and I had our moments that I will always remember and cherish. I loved Charles like a brother and will miss him dearly . Please know that you and his love ones are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of grief and sorrow. Good by and rest in peace Old Friend!

Linda and family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of Charles passing. He was such a good person, always helping others no matter how he felt. Linda I was the Care Services person for the Alabama Chapter and that is how we met. I live in NC now. I know he is with the Lord and at peace. He will always be in your hearts and the hearts of everyone he met. I will never forget him.
Love,
Lynn
Dear Johnson Family,
I am writing to extend my condolences. Mere words cannot convey the feelings of disbelief and sorrow that result from losing someone you dearly love. Please do not dismay, for God has a purpose for those who are sleeping in death.
In the book of John 5:28, 29 Jesus says, All in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. Yes, your dear loved one will live again, so don’t think of your loss as permanent. Also, Ecclesiastes 9:5 says that, the dead are conscious of nothing at all. How comforting to know that our dear loved ones are not suffering!
It is my sincere hope that you get a great measure of comfort from the Holy Scriptures.
