Word has come that our cousin, Charlie Eldridge, (son of Grovie (Fannin) Eldridge - daughter of Oscar H. Fannin and Maude (Lewis) Fannin, has lost a precious grandson to cancer. Having been diagnosed with the disease at the age of four, the little one was barely six years old when he died. The extended family is so large, and I live so far away, that I do not know each one. I met a couple of Charlie's little grandchildren about 2 years ago, and what precious children with big beautiful eyes! But knowing them personally is not necessary for me to share in their grief. We are family, and I grieve with them for their great loss. The little Newcombe Valley Church in Isonville, Kentucky will hold the family and friends as they gather to mourn and comfort one another today. May God comfort the grieving parents, grandparents, and all the extended family as they mourn.
