So sorry for the loss of a good friend. We worked together for many years at Milliken & Co.Always had a smile to give you. You will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Charles Kennedy family. He was always friendly and nice to us wherever we would see him. I saw him in mid September as he was leaving the wound clinic. We didn’t get to talk but we nodded at each other. Look to the Lord for comfort!!! Read Psalm 23 and John 14 for help and strength!!!

We are so sorry for your loss. We thought a lot of your daddy and always enjoyed the times together with him at Christmas and Carra’s Birthday parties. Praying for God’s comfort, strength and grace for you in the days ahead! Love you!
Dad,
You will always be in my heart, very often in my thoughts and forever loved!

Lisa so sorry for your loss he was a good man . I want ever forget him helping me out of a jam more than one time in Robbins mill. Our thoughts an prayers are with you.
I am so sorry to learn of death of Charles. We go way back to when he and my friend and classmate, Betty Ann met and married him. We used to double date. I used to visit them when I came home from working in Washington, D.C. You girls were just little kids then. I married and moved away and have been gone from there for almost 62 years, but never forgot my friends and family in Moore County. Sincere sympathy to you all and to his wife. Prayers for peace as I know this is a most difficult time for you all.
