About: Obituary: Charles David Blaydes

To Blaydes family, via CM:

This message is for the family of Charles and Gladys Blaydes, Gary, Charlotte and Ella Lee. I was sorry to read of the death of your father (and mother). I have many fond memories of them at your home. There were many trips down Dug Hill, across the creek, but not before we stop and play in the playhouse. And once we would arrive, they would feed us. May the Lord be with you.

Always,
