Significant anniversaries always bring memories, joy, and sometimes sorrow. Focusing on the good memories of your father/father-in-law always bring the sad/good feelings. During those times, I always think of what Christ said: "Don't cry for me because I will be with my Father." Keep your heart gladdened at the life you had with him, and know that he's with you every day.

Unfortunately, we didn't have the pleasure to meet "Chuck" Thompson. But he must have been a very special man to have raised (with his wife) such a kind and generous man as his son Larry. To have a son (and a daughter-in-law) who are so obviously considerate and selfless in order to serve others...well, it's what many of us hope we have instilled in our own children. His part was a job well done!
Our deepest condolences to the family.

Dear Marion, I will always remember you kids, as the best neighbors. I miss your folks and think of them often. I didn't know that Chuck was ill. I wish we could have gotten together. Chuck was a wonderful husband and a great dad. Condolences to all of you.
