Celebrating the life of Charles W. Overton
Thank you for signing Charles W. Overton's Guestbook

Uncle Charles as we affectionately called him was a very special soul. We are deeply saddened at his passing, but rejoice his home going where there is no more sickness. Uncle Charles never met a stranger, and gave wise advice as easily as he told his fishing stories! Blessings and love to his family. Andre & Sandra Stone
