Mr. Nearing came to Blissful living as a home care client in 2023 but soon he became like family to many of my staff who cared for him including Sam and Sarah who had the opportunity to be a part of Mr. Nearing’s journey. I never met him in person but through my staff and Edna, it felt like I knew him very well. What a wonderful man he was! Our heartfelt condolences to Edna and his entire family. Rest in Peace Mr. Nearing. You will be missed by many but remembered for the fondest memories!

Edna and family , Audrey and I offer our sincere condolences on the passing of our colleague Charlie. He will be remembered as a great guy, friendly and approachable . A little story - Charlie got a great kick out of this : on the first day of school at BEC one of his new students was taken to the office because he was wandering the halls . When Malcie asked him who his teacher was, he replied " I don't remember , but he looks like Conway Twitty !" Ray Stapleton

Sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. I had the privilege of being his colleague a t B.E.C. and often teased him as when I first met him my response was "oh my god, it's a miniature Conway Twitty". Charlie smiled somewhat wryly but it was the beginning of a great relationship. R.I.P. my friend and my condolences go out to Edna and all family members.

What I will miss the most about Charlie is the valuable advice I received during my visits. I had moved away as a young man, Charlie and Edna would invite myself and my young family into their home. I will always be eternally grateful to them both. Charlie was always there for me when life presented challenges. God bless you, Charlie.
Your forever grateful nephew, Stephen.
