To Sherri, Teena, and Ron, I was sad to hear of your mother's death a few days ago. I had just left for the Middle East or I would have tried to make the trip to Evansville for the funeral. I always enjoyed your mom! I wasn't around her a great deal but I remember her as someone who was enjoyed life and family. I know you will miss her. I also know what you are dealing with regarding the kind of grief you are experiencing. It is not easy! I wish I was there to hug your neck and remind you of the fact that this life is not ALL there is! That assurance always gives me pause because I know that death is not the end for those of us who follow the Savior who overcame death and the grave over 2000 years ago. Again I am sorry that I could not be there for your mom's funeral. I hope to see you sometime soon when I am back in Indiana.
Much love, Mark Sauter, Richmond, Virginia

Charlotte was a special lady who loved and honored the Lord in her life. She was in my Daughters of the King class for two years and had a deep commitment to the Lord and His Word. I totally missed the notification of your mother's death and feel so badly that I was not able to visit with you and share how much she meant to me. She will be missed.
