Dear Family, It has been a long time since we saw each other but I am Larry's youngest daughter. I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Charles' passing. I know he and Grandma Jessie had a beautiful reunion in heaven though. I know he missed her and I know she was waiting at the gate on him. I'm sure Mama and Daddy were there too. I wish we could stay in touch better but life just gets in the way. I know Uncles Charles knew I loved him and I did, very much. I am here if you need me, please just call if you need anything. (864) 939-9050. I know there are no words to comfort you in this time so i'll just say lean on Jesus and he will carry you through the valley of grief as no one else can. I love you all and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
All my love,
Jessica Edwards Holman
