We are sad to announce that on July 10, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Charles Howard Cress of Fort Scott, Kansas. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As we bid Charles Howard farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Charles Howard is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
