Sharon and I extend our sincere condolences to Henda and the girls, Robin, Cara and Leigh in their loss of Charles. I knew him to be a skilled professional educator and a devout Christian. He was totally committed to his students and was in total command of his classroom. He was very proud of his girls and their achievements because we would compare notes from time to time. Titus 2:7 best describes Charles -- "Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity...Charles will be missed to all his friends.Kenneth C.

To the Shirley Family:My thoughts are with you in your loss. Charles Lee was not only a great teacher, but great man. He touched so many lives in many positive ways. He will be missed.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Cara,I am so sorry for the loss of your Daddy. Please know that if there is anything you need, anything that I can do to make a difference, I am a phone call away. We love you.
Mr. Shirley was my high school hisory teacher, i will always remember how hard he pushed his students to succeed, not only in class, but life as well. Prayers for the family at this time.
Hinda,I came to know Charles in seeing him at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church and more recently at our reunions and birthday parties out at the old house. I'll never forget the Sunday morning that Charles and I sang the tenor part of "When Peace Like a River" together, blending our voices I thought beautifully, in one of the best Tenor parts in the songbook. The next time I was there, after the song service and as we were leaving the choir loft, Charles said "Bless you!" to me. I thanked him. I've come to love him a great deal, a man who lived truly in the image of Jesus, and I can't tell you how much I will miss him. May God bless you and comfort you!Kenny Palmer

Charles Lee was a great leader for young people in the '60's when I lived in DeRidder and attended Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. I admired his spirit, love and dedication to our youth. God, please give him a special mansion!
