Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts. Dwain & Lois were 2 of them people. I worked at Lil Duffer thru high school and learned so much from them. Hold tight the memories. Hugs & Prayers

Dearest friends...
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all...Knowing Charlie for such a long time was one of our blessings! He and his wife Lois were wonderful friends, and his extended family was added to that list! Many trips to football games in Nebraska, and the knowledge that we would see Charlie and his family at our parish dinner every year, made a strong friendship even stronger!
We will miss you Charlie...unfold those wings, and fly! It is not goodbye, but see you later buddy!!! We will never forget you!!! "GO HUSKERS!!!"
Mike and Debbie Shogren and family!!!
