Hello Coppedge Family,
This is your cousin, Beth Anne. I am so very sorry for the loss of our beloved cousin, Chuck. Chuck was such an intelligent, hard-working, dear, sweet, caring person. My husband Mike, always commented over the years, at family gatherings-how much he enjoyed getting to know Chuck. He appreciated Chuck’s friendliness & inquisitive nature regarding life in general & asking about our entire Nash family, etc. I am fortunate to have been able to spend some extra-fun evenings in the past 10 years, with Marsha & Chuck-enjoying some terrific Mexican dinners together & family camaraderie. Chuck will be very missed in this lifetime. I pray he is enjoying heaven now with my sister Susie, our cousin Steve, his parents & grandparents & all of our other deceased loved ones- too numerous to mention. We love you, Marsha, Denise, Debbie & Families. Bless Chuck’s Soul in heaven & all of you in the days & years to come.
Sincerely, Beth, Mike & Heather Winne
