our deepest sympathies for your loss. although, i didn't know c.h. for very long, he was a great help when rodney and i lost our twin girls on the 13th of july 2005. his support and thoughtfulness was a true inspiration to us both. he gave that personal touch to help us through our time of sorrow which meant alot to rodney because rodney was acquainted with him from knowing his daughter from school. please know our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Sylvia and family, I had not heard about C.H. until this past weekend. I was so sorry to hear the news. You both have been so good to me and my family over the years I just wish I could do something for you. I have many fond memories of C.H. from the time I worked at the store and then later when he helped my family through some difficult times like the time you both went and took my mother to Charlottesville for her funeral. I would run into him quite often when I would be attending funerals. He always said the only time he saw me was at J.T. Morris. I will miss him. I know that the loss you are feeling is great and nothing I could say would ease that but if you need to talk or you need anything please call me. I will stop by to see you soon.
Love, Nancy Oliver

Sylvia,
I am truly saddened by the loss of CH but much of who he was resulted from the love and humor he shared with you. I remember the lunches you packed for him,the many kind things he grumbled about (strictly in fun), and him calling to check on you. For the past 25 years I have been touched by his wit and the many things he taught me. ("Don't ever tell a date that you're and embalmer, say you are a bus driver", "Don't say a bunch of mushy stuff to your kids, then they'll act up", and "Take care of your family"). CH guided me through many situations in my life including: getting me my first cat from the pound, fixed me up with many first dates, and made me into the "redneck" I am today. Thanks to you both for everything.

My heart and prayers go out to all of CH's family and friends. He was a good person to work with and will be missed. Evelyn Sumler, Purviance Funeral Home, Wakefield

I am deeply saddened for your loss.

Dear Sylvia and Family, My prayers and love goes out to each of you at this time, and in the days to follow. My memories of CH start with the professional training and advise that he always shared with me at the funeral home. In the number of years that I have been associated with JTM, I can only say that CH was a unique individual and one that I did respect. I thank God for the times that his humor assisted me through a difficult day. He was a true professional funeral director when he was with the families. So thoughtful to all. Remember all those beautiful memories as many of us will. Again my love to all and may God Bless each of you. Your friend, Morris Crowder, Jr.

Sylvia and family: I am so sorry to hear about CH. He has helped my family through so much over the years with our losses. I don't know what I would have done without him helping with Mom, and my two brothers. Words somehow just don't seem to be enough with what you are going though, just know you all are in my thoughts and prayers. He will be missed.

May God be with you all

I am so sorry for your loss. C.H. was a fine man to work with and I always enjoyed talking with him on the phone, though I only saw him on occasions. My heart goes out to his family and friends at such a tragic time. God Bless!
