Condolence Messages

  1. The Lawhun Family

    Charles Barnett was one of the most caring men known to man. Him and his wife Maxine took care of not only their family but also the ones they took in as family. He would do for anyone anyway he could. Charles will be missed dearly and will continue to be loved by all who knew him. Our thoughts are with the Barnett family.
