I see your birthday every year-time passes by so quickly-faster each day. I remeber the last time I saw you, and if only I knew then it would be my last. I hope to see you again, my friend.

I always know when this time of the year is coming. But this morning the Legacy reminder was on my phone. Waving like a big red flag. and I was getting ready to write something sad and maudlin. But Samantha called and my finger hovered over the answer icon. Do I want to talk to her right now or do I want to fall into this deep hole of missing you and crying? But I answered Sam´s call and we talked and before long we were laughing and joking around and I wasn´t sad anymore. I was even helping her with algebra (what?). I still miss you and think of you everyday. I hold a space for you always. And what you did for me today, was way better than anything Peter Griffen could have done.

I love you and I think of you everyday. After all this time, I still miss you horribly. I hope there is some way that you know this. I hope there is some way that you know of Alexia and Kaleb. You would be so proud. You are always in my heart.

Charlie,

I recently learned of your passing through an acquaintance at work, and I was floored... you will be missed my friend.. you were always so friendly and so outgoing. You were a blessing to your friends, you never had an unkind word to say.. I truly regret not growing closer with you while you were here on earth with us.... I will be praying for your family and friends that you left behind..

I only had the opportunity to work with Charly a few times, but every time I enjoyed it. In my experience, he was a bright spirited guy with much integrity. I know he will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his surviving family and friends during this difficult time.

Dear Chip and Elizabeth, we never knew your son, but from what I have read here, he must have been an amazing man. There is so little that one can say to you to ease your pain. As a parent and mother my heart goes out to you. Our sympathies are with you and your daughters. No parent should have to face this tragedy. God bless all of you and Charlie.

Charlie, I remember the fist day i met you, how much you made me laugh and smile. How shy you would get if i complimented you. And I will never forget our time together on New Years. You were so special to me and everyone who knew you. He always told me how important his family was to him. I keep waiting to recive a text message about what a beautiful day it was or a personal joke from him. I love you Charlie!!! And always will. My love and prayers go out to his family. He will be missed.
