Charles Elias Disney and his uncle Walt Disney were always very close right up to the time when Uncle Walt Disney passed away in 1966! Uncle Walt's influence continues to this very day, and I do miss him as well as each of the late members of my beloved Disney Family!
I have long believed this: "Death is not the not the end of anything! It is the BEGINNING of everything!"

Charles Elias Disney and his uncle Walt Disney both shared their love for trains. Often times when Charles Elias and his parents Raymond and Meredith and his brother Daniel visited Walt and Lilly in their home, and Walt enjoyed driving his train around their home to the delight of his family and close friends. These were such happy times and memories living always in our hearts! Each of our lives were always blessed by God!
