Thank you for this precious reflection, Laura! It reflects the faithful pastor I knew for a little time, a little time with big moments! May our compassionate God Bless and Keep you and yours always, especially your mother.

I see Chuck in so many ways as I read this. I miss him more than I can put into words. He was so many things to me. I look forward to when I can see my Brother in Christ again. Even though he was more of a Father figure to me.

Oh Laura, what a beautiful ulagy. As I read this, I can see Chuck and his smile, putting his glasses on his forehead, all of it. I am so thankful that we had the years we had as friends and will cherish the memories. And I agree, Mange TusenTakk!!

Such a beautiful testimony to who your father was, Laura. He is one of those people I wished I had known earlier in life. I'm sorry that I had to miss the funeral, but I'm grateful for the privilege of meeting your dad (and your mom). I will continue praying for your family as you continue to grieve the loss of a great man, your earthly father. Prsise God from whom all blessings flow. Peace, God's peace to all of you

I had the honor of reading this while my two double PKs laughed and batted balloons and whizzed paper airplanes past my ear. Seems about right. What a beautiful tribute for a life and love well lived.

Beautiful tribute for your dad, Laura!

Oh, my goodness, Laura...what a stunning eulogy for your father, a man I never had the privilege of meeting, but whom, through your words, I can respect and appreciate from a distance. You brought me to tears with your stories and memories of such a beloved and Godly father. Thank you for blessing us all with these words and for carrying on his memory in the beautiful ways you always have done and will continue to do, I'm certain. God's peace and comfort be with you all.

I am so very sorry Laura for you and your family's loss! He was such a wonderful man and I have many many memories of growing up with him and your family in my life. Blessing and prayers to you all. Thinking of all of you at this time and coming days!
