Dad,
Rachel got married last week; Brandon just 4 days ago. Though I believe that you were aware of these events; I sure wish you could have been there to "eat the cake!" Thank you for watching over your family; it is growing :-). Love you, Lyn.

I can't believe you have been gone almost three years and I miss you as much as when you first left. I see Brandon and Troy do so many things that you have taught them. I know they miss you so much as well. I was truly a lucky girl to have you in mine and my kid's life so long, but I just wish Anna and Bailey would have had more time with you! I just don't know what I would do if I didn't know I would see you again, That is the only way I have kept on going. Thank you dad for everything you have done for me...I am so blessed:)

Our birthday's come and go with increased muscle aches & many memories we store away. You reached your max years and are at rest. You are,however, forever in our hearts. It is as if you should be popping up with my favorite phone call.....Hi Sis! And then we would discuss each of our joys and projects. Ending as I do now--Love ya much!

Can't believe two years have gone by since we were planning our trip to your memorial service. Walt & I think of you often and miss you lots, the memorable times we were togeather are brought out, dusted off and we laugh and/or cry about those times that are priceless to us both. I especially miss the calls that always began "Hi Sis, how are you doing" and sharing latest family updates!

Dear Uncle Chuck, Happy 85th Birthday (a bit late, I was out of town!). I miss that we are not going to your Birthday Luncheon (and this is a big number, so you would get presents too!) and sitting around laughing and enjoying each others company as we always did when our family got together. Say hi to my Mom for me, love you!

Dear Dad,
I miss you laughing at all my jokes. I miss the "Daddy's Girl" talks. I miss the work of your hands. I miss that immediate access to you. But your spirit and character are still felt and exemplified. And though I know you are actively engaged in the next life, I still wish you could visit! Loves and hugs.

Well, today is the day you would celebrate youre 85th birthday. Would have loved to pick up the telephone and wished you a happy day but it is not to be. Your are in my heart and the wonderful memories are often taken out and dusted off. They bring smiles and give me the comfort that your "Hi Sis" often did. Indeed life goes on, until we draw our last breath, and then we rest in peace.

Oh Dad....I miss you so so so much!! I hope you are celebrating your birthday with Grandma and Jesus! It does help the pain to know that you are out of pain! Thank you dad for everything you did for me! I was a blessed girl! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

Chuck,
I just needed to take a moment to say I miss you. It is funny how life keeps us so busy with the trivial, day to day stuff we don't get around to the things that really matter. Here I am a day late in making the time to spend a few quiet minutes thinking of you on what will forever be one of those special days. God Bless!

In the mist of a busy day today, the place you left in my heart felt so empty but then I remembered your saying "I don't want that kind of stuff when I'm gone". With that I felt at peace knowing you are in a safe place, without pain and worry. Sleep tight bro..until we meet again!
Love from your aged "little sis"

Well your first birthday with Jesus is today! Sure do miss you! Things you've taught me since you've been gone:
1. It is important to live a good legacy for your children and grand childrenl
2. I am stronger than I thought I was.

Grandpa Chuck, Where do I begin? I was married into the most wonderful family ever and not a day goes by that we don't miss you. I see the example of what you taught your family in so many ways. I am blessed to have Kelly in my life, who dearly loves you so much, and reminds me of you all the time. Thank you so much for watching over us all each and every day. Love you!

Chuck & Barbara, it has been many years ago that you graciously invited an Aleut boy from St. George Island(Pribilofs) via dearest Suzy Swing(Benson) into your home for his 8th grade year that brought me into a new world of adventure. You were the father that I did not have and you taught so much about life and new skills and confidence that formed who I am today. Memory Eternal!  Joey

Uncle Chuck, You and Barb were an exceptional team, always welcoming family and friends and consistently up beat with everyone. This candle is lit in recognition of the love you and Barb shared and for the comfort of the wonderful Wife and mother who now carries the job of you both until that day you are joined as one again. May she feel your embrace on this special day!

You were the brother I never had, just never gave a thought to the "in law" part. Miss sharing progress reports on your and my projects. Lois and I often share memories of our times together. We laugh & cry but no matter which we always agree, we loved you so much. Happy Birthday, We miss you and especially our frequent phone conversatiions.

Oh Dad I miss you so much! I hope you are having a little celebration up there (I know how much you LOVE celebrations:) Keep asking Jesus to strengthen mom, she misses you so much! You were such an amazing dad and umpa and you left such an impression on all of us. I just wish Bailey and Anna would have been able to benefit from all you have taught us!! Love you so much!!

It doesn't seem possible that this much time has gone by, and yet it seems like just yesterday when we were all at the memorial service! I think of you often, Uncle Chuck, and I wish you a Happy Birthday up there...say hi to Jeannie for me, ok?

Want to light a candle on the eve of his birthday. Not a day goes by that he is not in my thoughts. Memories of good times we shared, disagreements that always ended with a hug, riding his bike when he wasn't looking, visits we had and the wonderful telephone calls, these are some of the special times. Happy Birthday, Bro. wish our time to share would have lasted longer! You are missed!

Dad, you've been gone 6 months now; this is the 1st time I've had the verve to visit this site. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Not a week goes by that I do not benefit from your example and teachings. Not a year will go by without celebrating your birth and regretting the day we lost you to this world. Not a life will go by until we see you in the next. Save a place for me!

Uncle Chuck was such a great Uncle. The times we had when I was younger are forever in my heart. And on another note, it sure was special meeting so many of Uncle Chucks & Aunt Barbs friends and seeing family.

I am proud to say that I had the blessing of having my dad for 49 years. He was absolutely the best dad in the world. I love and miss him so much, he was the rock in our family! Jesus took home an amazing man and I can't wait to see him again!

Charles was the best of brothers, I will always cherish the time spent with him. I am certain, in time, all our happy memories will replace the sadness, and the sun will shine again. We will celebrate his long and full life knowing he is at rest.

Thinking of you as our life is flying by. Kim was out yesterday helping with construction for more of my items. Jonathan power washed the front porch, Cindy is on a trip to visit some of the relatives in Portland/Seattle area. Sandra and Ron placed first with his spiffy auto. Walt & I are winding down, but enjoying every minute. We miss you but the memories of you are clear in our minds. OK to be truthful it's day to day and we are so grateful you were my brother!! May see you before long!

Dad,
I remember many Labor Day weekend traditions: decorating our home for Fall, watching the tennis US Open, and your famous Golf Invitationals in Snohomish. Now those traditions include a tribute to your well-lived life. You and Mom now have two more great-grandkids; Rachel had fraternal twins; two boys: Alex Kelly Mayes, and Jake Patrick Mayes, middle names given in honor of their grandfathers. I believe you still have influence from the other side; thanks for watching over your growing family. Love, "Lynnie Pooh Pooh," one of your nicknames for me that I never should have shared with a girlfriend cuz she uses it occasionally!

Mother's Day and your 93rd birthday fall together in 2021, a bittersweet day this year for Mom.  For many years we all celebrated together these two events plus Chase's birthday.  Those were the best of times as we gathered in our Olympia house.  They say pictures are worth thousands of words.  I have hundreds of pictures which all attest to those good times.  I wish we could all eat, laugh, reminisce, tease, love, hug, and see each other today.....just one more time.  But pictures and memories will have to suffice until we all meet again in this eternal course.  Happy 93rd Dad; I love you.  Lyn

I'd like to say "Rest in Peace, Dad," but I know that the next life after this one is still full of activity and work.  You are such an industrious soul, carry on!  Lyn

MY MEMORY LIBRARY

May 9, 2013

Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,                                                                                 and that moment would always last.

I'd put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.

I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.

I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.

If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.

There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits every time.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.

For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!

I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.

I'm building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.

I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you
