Not sure what to say?





My sympathy to Jean and family on the death of Chuck Black, friend and travelling companion with Jean, of my husband Dr. Fox Miller and me from 1964. Our first trip was to Mexico with the North American Clinical Dermatological Society and many more happy travels to Europe and South America also sponsored by NACDS.

Allen, Brad and Family; My strong prayers are with you all. Dr. Chuck was a unique person that had a true "bed-side manner" that could make you smile while he cut a plantar wart off. His pleasentness is something I remember. But, the quality of his sons is proof of his being a good man and dad.
May GOD comfort you all and I will remember him in prayer.

Sorry to hear of the lost of Mr. Black. The Bible tells us “Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.”. One of the principal ways to draw close to God is thorough prayer. Do not underestimate its value!
