I count it a JOY to have known, and had a cousin such as Charles. He will always be Moody in my heart. The memories will always bring a smile to my soul! Family, there is no more pain for him, now I pray for the pain of our grief to pass swiftly so the strong, happy memories of our dear Charles take center stage. May God Bless this family and keep us in His hands.
