Prayers to the family and friends of Charlie, untill we meet again
Karen & jimmy
tammy my prayers go out to you and your family
My prayers and condolences to the Graninger family. I remember Charlie well from the Rebel Bowl days… he was one of my favorite people with his gentle teasing and occasional “boot in my behind” when it was necessary. Those were the days when it took a village to raise a child, and the entire village did so… Though I haven’t seen him in years, I have always been grateful that Charlie Graninger was one of my villagers.
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO DOLLEY AND HER FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
