    I'm so sorry to read about Charles passing. But the stories being shared in heaven between him, my Mamal Mozelle & other Durants. She loved the Durants & spoke of them often. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

  3. We will miss you, we greatly appreciated the boxes of food you brought us when we first got in our house 18 years ago and we had all those gas leaks. I had to use food money to pay the someone to come and fix my gas leaks, than I started finding a box once a week on the hood of my car, this box would be loaded with commodities, mac and cheese, caned meats and veggies, dried beans, powdered eggs, rice, instant potatoes, cereal etc. We were greatful and wondered who was bringing these treasures, til one morning I seen him leaving a box full of food. After that he would come by and asked us what we needed or wanted in commodities. How precious, Our Angel! God Bless your family, Kathleen
