Condolences

So sorry to hear about Char. Marla and I enjoyed seeing her and talking to her at the Knight trailer in the Wisconsin Dells. When Don her mother, and Char were at the campground she was always busy cleaning or doing work around the trailer. Then it was off to the casino when the work was done. She had a kind heart and a warm smile and we will miss her.

I worked with Char at the Kenosha Engine Plant. She was always such a caring, upbeat individual. I will miss her so.
Ray+Charlene Sinkler July 23, 2015
We had alot of fun times with you and Robert. I remember when you danced with me at my wedding and how embarressed I was, two girls dancing together. You called me Char #2 because our names were exactly the same once I married Ray. God bless, you will be sincerely missed

Please accept my condololence for the passing of Ms. Sinkler. Although I do not know Ms. Sinkler, I can only imagine the pain all of you are experiencing in losing a partner and mother. Take comfort in a promise our Grand Creator gives us that one day, no resident will say I am sick (Is. 33:24). During this time of bereavement, may you receive undeserved kindness and peace from family and friends.
