Kandy and “the little Price boys”, we were so sorry to hear about Charley. We have great memories of Charley hunting on our farm. That’s why Howard and Betty call you...the little Price boys. Cane Hill has lost a cherished longtime resident. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of your loss. When I was a kid I lived two doors down from Mr. Edwards and Bobbie. I remember them always being so nice. Some of my best childhood memories were made at their place with "the Price boys." We played ball and kiss chase and rode scooters and bikes. Good times!
Again, my deepest condolences for the family.
