      To the RICHISON FAMILY in their time of grief, I’m truly sorry for your loss. May ‘God’ give you peace during this most difficult time. (Psalm 4:8)

      May God give you peace knowing his home is now in heaven. He was a good friend, through insurance first and then through his many messages and participation in local events. We have missed him and will keep our memories. Thanks.

      I met Charlie in Carlinville, Il at Sunshine manor. I took care of his mother Mary. He visited often and always had a great smile. He lived his mother and whatever she needed, he would do. I knew his love of God and painting. One day I told him that I bought two old radios but one didn’t work. A tube was blown. He said bring it over to my house, I probably have one. He did and my radio worked. Sorry for your loss. In my thoughts and prayers

      My prayers are with you and your family! Charlie and Gloria were my childhood neighbors. Loved both of them so much and enjoyed many visits at their home in Palmyra! !n my adult years, I saw Charlie from time and time at Palmyra Christian Church or when my son was singing somewhere local. I know you find peace in knowing he went to his eternal home. He loved the Lord!
