Sweet Lola and Jimmy, I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss. The photo gallery is so precious and I know he loved you so much. Brooke is so beautiful was obviously so special to him. I am just so saddened that he hurt so much. Jesus was certainly in his heart, though, and Chuck is at peace. I will pray for peace and warm memories for you all. Love you, Paula

Rev. 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
Praise God for this promise in His Word. Your sons are no longer in pain. God has wiped away their tears and they are resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus.
Wish we were there to give you both a big hug! We love you and are praying for you daily.
