Although it has been five years, it seems like a lifetime on some days; one minute, it feels like I have just talked to you, but the next, it seems like it has been forever. From the moment that you left us, everything changed, Charles; from Mom, Heather and Adrianna, to us three. We often talk about how your death shook our world, but having Mom here, helped to soften the blow; she was so much more concerned about comforting us....all the while, it was eating her alive. Now that she is gone, we have been forced to sink or swim. Thanks to the way that she has raised us, we are swimming, but it does not change how much we miss you. Please continue to comfort Heather...she loves you so much! To know how much she loves you, makes me love her even more...I wish that I could take her pain away. I am grateful for the signs, the memories, etc., but it is definitely a struggle. Some like to live in a fantasy world, pretending that they know how you would feel, but we are the ones, who know what you would feel. Always & Forever my baby brother.

Good morning my baby brother. "Ma, look, Uncle Charlie's car!" Charles, I miss you so much. We will forever be incomplete without you and Mom. Like Mom always said, though, the chain will never be broken. We are coming up on five years of you being gone, and I still refuse to accept it. Sometimes it feels like I just saw you yesterday, and then it seems like it has been forever....it's very weird. When you died, Mom would always tell us not to ask "why." She never wanted us to question God, so I try my best to rest with that....it's definitely a struggle. Always & Forever.

Good morning, Charles! I hope you received your Birthday "shout-out" from me :) I miss you so much my baby brother. You will forever be my quick-on-the-feet partner! Rob always says, "how did you think of that so quickly, and how did you not even take a breath?!" haha!! It's a gift :) Rob and I have been laughing so much with Gianna constantly talking about Uncle "Chewy's" car; it's so funny!! Heather said how much you would have loved that name; I would have to agree!I hope you hear her saying goodbye/I love you every morning to your and Mom's picture :) I love you so much, Charles.

October 6, 2016

Good morning my baby brother. Thank you for the "call" the other day. Pat said, "why do you always get them?!" haha! Maybe it's because I am in tune with this type of stuff; I don't know. Everyone has always said that Mom and I are just "good with the gut." Either way, I know that you and Mom do your best to get through to all of us, and we thank you. I love and miss you so much, Charles. Always & Forever.

September 1, 2016

Charles' spirit lives on in your life. Hugs, Rosalie!

June 17, 2016

What the heck, Charles?! CRAZY!! I feel like you and Mom are exhausted by my need for double confirmation that these signs are, in fact, from you guys. "Charles" it will be! Through my tears, I am smiling....promise! Please do not ever stop.

The smirk said it all! Thank you. You and Mom in the same day....kind of crazy. You guys know me all too well....always needing facts, verification, etc. Rob and I were laughing when he put the frame back up....we imagined you and Mom laughing at how we were trying to figure out how in the heck that happened. You have to negate all logic first, right? Thank you. I love and miss you so much my baby brother. Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

April 21, 2016

Thank you for your good work....honey bee has made its presence again! I hope you like your bee wind chime :) haha!! As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to get it for you. I love and miss you so much, Charles. Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

February 23, 2016

Good morning my baby brother. I have been thinking about you a lot lately. Without you, us three kids will never be complete.....I love our sibling bond. Without a doubt, we know what you are thinking...that's the funny thing! Adrianna did really well in her play :) I could not help but to think of you the whole time. Heather looked beautiful. I know that you were sitting right next to her. I love and miss you so much, Charles. Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

February 11, 2016

You're good, Charles! Whenever I start to become a skeptic, something always proves me wrong.....thank you! Love and miss you so much. Always & Forever.

January 12, 2016

Gianna reminds me so much of you, Charles! She is obsessed with little people :) She has so many of them that she doesn't know which one to grab in the morning. I always tell her how obsessed her Uncle Charlie was with them, too. After you passed, I remember how Mom kept your two favorite ones on the shelf, so that she could look at them...it breaks my heart to think of how much pain she was in, how much pain we are all in over the loss of you both. I think God makes certain things happen to show us that our loved ones have not really left us. I know that Mom would not want for us to lose our faith, or to question anything that has happened, so we try not to. I love and miss you so much. Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

January 9, 2016

Hey there! Ask and you shall receive, right?! Bumble Bee!! Who would have ever thought that you would ok with this particular sign?! haha!! All you have to do is pay attention....the signs are everywhere. There is not one day that goes by that I do not talk to Gianna about you...she knows who her "Uncle Charlie" is. I love and miss you so much my baby brother. Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

December 25, 2015

Keep the signs coming, Charles. You and Mom know that I am the one, who will notice them :) I love and miss you so much. Merry Christmas my baby brother!! Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

December 20, 2015

Hey there! I have been thinking about you and Mom a lot lately, Charles. Without you guys, the holidays are so hard. Just like any family, everyone resembles each other in some way. I have a few pictures of you and Mom all around the house....Gianna totally resembles you! It always makes me smile. So radical, right?! I remember only ever telling Mom and Rob that I would get an overwhelming feeling of seeing Pop in Gianna. I feel like I sound crazy, but I can't explain it. Patrick told me a few months back that he feels like he sees Pop in Gianna....weird, huh? Either way, I feel like it proves that we are always & forever with each other, even when we die. Looking at those pictures of you and Mom, I am still in total denial...I wish I could just snap my fingers. I miss you so much my baby brother. I love you. Always & Forever.

Happy Thanksgiving my baby brother. Since the balloons were a complete mess on your birthday (I know you were probably right next to me laughing), I appreciate the confirmation of receipt....just ask and you shall receive right?! I am so thankful to have you as one of my brothers. Mom made us such a strong team!! I have yet to see a set of siblings like us....we are so lucky to have each other! I love and miss you so much. Always & Forever. Please, please keep the signs coming......

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

November 6, 2015

Happy 33rd Birthday, Charles! I'm right on time this year - not early - are you happy?! haha!! I miss you so much. Our family seems so incomplete without you and Mom...things will never be the same. I am so grateful for our memories and our tight bond...so many people only wish that they could have the bond that we do! Honey bee made an appearance again two days ago! Without a doubt, I know that you and Mom are around :) I love and miss you so much my baby brother. Happy Birthday!! Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

October 19, 2015

Well, Charles, thank you for the phone call the other night! Oh my gosh!! As soon as I heard your name, my heart began beating out of my chest! It was definitely no coincidence, no circumstance, but something bigger that's just out of our hands because some things are just meant to be! Please continue to make your presence knownit is so comforting! I love and miss you so much my baby brother. Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

September 27, 2015

Oh, honey bee!! As soon as I got back in the car, Rob was waiting for me to hear what song was on the radio :) I know that it was you. Thank you!! I love and miss you so much, Charles. Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

September 8, 2015

I am going through so many emotions today. It is still so surreal. I miss you and Mom so much. I am so grateful for all of the memories that we all have, but it is just not enough. Prior to Mom's death, she would always say that she knows that Nonni, Poppi, and Pop are taking care of you, but SHE needed to be with her bambino. We are so incomplete without the both of you. I am convinced that God has a plan for all of us, so I will try my best to remember that on the bad days, when it hurts so badly. Please continue to watch over us. I love you so much, Charles. Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

July 30, 2015

Good morning, Charles. Rob and I were talking about you the other night.Gianna is obsessed with baked beans! Whenever she is done with what is on her plate, she starts reaching for our beans.she loves them :) Sound extra familiar? haha!! I remember Josie and Arnold on Halloween with your candy. I miss you so much. I am still in so much denial; I just do not want to believe that you and Mom are really gone. Please continue to check in! I love you so much. Always & Forever, my baby brother.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

The death of Chris has brought back a lot of memories from your death, Charles. I know that you are helping him through his transition up therehe was such a nice guy. I love the pictures Mr. Sleepy Head :) haha!! That is SO you!! So handsome :) When I was getting ready for work this morning, I was thinking back to the day that I stopped by Mom's after the bach party. You were being typical Charles, telling me to be careful because of the rain and to just go home.I'm so glad that I didn't listen to you. I remember sitting on the floor, next you and Adrianna on the couch. I remember Mom had just pulled up with groceries, so you jumped up to help her unload them. I can still see you so darn clearly with bags in your hands, taking the stuff downstairs. I am so baffled by our memories being so vivid, but being separated by death at the same time.it is so crazy. How can we still hear your voice, mom's voice, so clearly? As you can see, a lot has changed in our livesI know what you and Mom would be thinking, feeling, and expecting of us, as we have a bond like no other. I know that you know how much we are missing the both of you. I love you so much my baby brother.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

April 23, 2015

Hey there! Thank you for the sign the other day....it really hit me, honey-bee :) Oh, how I miss you and Mom SO much, Charles. We are so incomplete without the both of youit just does not seem real, If that makes any sense. I miss your beautiful face, your antics, and your advice.just everything about my baby brother. I love you, Charles. Always & Forever.

Good morning my baby brother. We all miss you so much, Charles, and we are totally incomplete with you. Nothing will ever be the same without you. Just like we do with Mom, we are always talking about you, reminiscing about all of the funny stuff....there are so many good stories :) "Cracking the code," is a pretty good one, huh?!?! I miss you so much. Please keep giving us the signs. I love you!!

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

February 2, 2015

“Hey!” Gosh, how I miss that, Charles. We have been doing a lot of talking about you and Mom lately…without the both of you, nothing will ever be the same. I know how much you value my opinion on things, as I do with you, so it's comforting to imagine what you would be saying to me. Just like I told Mom, I know you have the ability to see straight in our hearts…you know the truth. I love and miss you so much.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

January 7, 2015

I totally received your EXTRA obvious sign, Charles! It was so crazy. After the tears, of course, I had a huge smile on my face. We have really been enjoying the recent discovery of all of your comedy shows. “If I were to send you a Christmas card, where should I send it?” haha!! You are definitely my sidekick…we are already ten feet ahead of everyone, waiting to respond! Buckle-up…it's going to be interesting! Just like Rob said…we were always waiting for your comment. I love how you would say, “why is everyone looking at me?” I love and miss you so much, Charles. Please keep giving us the signs.

Rosalie Armetta-popp

December 24, 2014

Merry Christmas my baby brother. I am so heartbroken over you and Mom not being here. When you passed, I was struggling so badly with describing what I was feeling one night...Rob said it best - "it's like a link in the chain is missing." Now, with two links missing, it's getting harder and harder. I miss your antics...your personality is one of the best I will ever know, Charles. I love and miss you so much. You and Mom better make your presence known tomorrow. They say that you are the same on the other side, so without a doubt, you should have the strength to do it! Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

December 11, 2014

Oh, how I miss my baby brother. I had a bad “Charles morning” the other day when I was on my way to Pat's. I looked back at Gianna, who gave me a huge smile, so I tried my best to move past it. Then, the next day, I see your old police car in front of the Courthouse. Coincidence? Perhaps. I don't think so, though. Please keep making your presence known…it brings all of us some comfort. I miss your smile and laughter. More and more, I miss straightforward, no fluff advice….you're my sidekick :) I love you so much!!

Rosalie Armetta

November 26, 2014

Happy Thanksgiving, my baby brother. As it has been for the last two years, it is going to be difficult. I know that you and Mom will be there in spirit. I love and miss you so much.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

November 5, 2014

I meant to wish you a Happy 32nd Birthday! Oops :) I never mess this stuff up...mom-brain, I guess. Love you!!

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

November 5, 2014

Happy – early – Birthday! Since it is only one day early, you can't get mad :) haha!! I am sure that you were there with me when I was putting balloons and chocolate chip cookies on your grave earlier today. Oh, how I miss you and Mom. I am unable to digest the fact that I stand in between my baby brother's/Mother's grave...I will never be able to accept this. It will always be surreal to me. We were just looking at pictures from Pat and Sarah's wedding the other day…other than the eyes, Adrianna and Gianna are almost identical! It is SO crazy!! It makes me feel even closer to you, if that makes any sense. You and I look so much alike, so it makes me smile. I miss you so much, Charles. There is not one moment that goes by without you and Mom in it. Happy 31st Birthday, my baby brother. I love you.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

October 23, 2014

Hey there. I miss you so much, Charles. I had a really bad "Charles day" this past Saturday. I hate that you are not here. I was talking to Donna the other day...through my tears, I just kept smiling and laughing. You have touched so many people. I am so proud to be your sister. I love you, my baby brother. Always & Forever.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

I heard honey bee the other day...it put a huge smile on my face :) Who am I kidding, you know I cried right after! I can hear you now, "Ro, stop, everything is fine." I love and miss you so much, Charles.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

September 23, 2014

“Hey there, guy!” haha!! There was a good crowd on Sunday. Pat was so cute with his table that was dedicated to you. We were laughing at how serious you look in a picture of you and Maverick because you probably laughed, and turned red, immediately after the shot was taken…totally shy! Heather and Dad looked so cute together :) Of course, I maintained my long-distance relationship with Maverick…nothing has changed/every will change there! It's so cool to see the respect and dedication that is constantly given to all of you. I am so proud to be your sister, Charles. I miss your smirk. Whenever we talk about you, Josie always talks about your grin :)Adrianna looks so much like you...it's kind of comforting in a way. I love and miss you so much.

Joanne Armetta

My thoughts are of you tonight and still saddened when I think of you. I past the cemetery today and always throw you a kiss as I pass by. I will always remember that sweet little guy I got to know. Be with all your family to get them through the next few days.

I know you know, but I just want to tell you that I am thinking a lot about you this week. It's crazy, Charles, I feel like I can smell the air from the week of your passing. Losing you and Mom has been the hardest thing…you are two of my “people.” Please keep the signs coming. I love and miss you so much, baby brother

Hi, my baby brother. When I was at your grave/Mom's grave the other day, I feel like you were trying to tell me something. It was so weird the way your windmill spun like crazy when I walked over to your grave, and would then slow down when I walked over to Mom's....her windmill would only kick-start when I walked over to her, even after I turned it in the same direction as yours. I know it's crazy, but I feel like you/Mom were trying to tell me that she is working on her abilities/powers. Again, I know it sounds crazy, but I feel like my thoughts are so much deeper and even more analytical (I know you are probably making a smart comment on that one). Pat and I were talking about how I have had so many dreams of you, dreams where I know you came to me. I know they say that grief can inhibit that from happening, but please do not give up, Charles; more than ever, I need to hear from you, Pop, and/or Mom. I love and miss you so much.

Rosalie Armetta-Popp

June 2, 2014

When you passed, I remember apologizing to Pop because I did not want him to think that I have forgotten about him, and now I feel like I need to apologize to you, too. I will never, ever forget about you, but I am so consumed with shock and confusion with Mom's death.

Rob washed and waxed the Chrysler for Heather last weekend….it's still such an awesome car! While I was driving it back to Heather, a spider came down from the windshield and I was petrified! Of course, I did not know how I was going to get it away from me, so I ended up swerving a bit, but I built up the courage to smack it in between my hands….while screaming, of course. I would like to believe that you were NOT laughing at me because that would be quite hypocritical of you!

I love you so much, Charles, and I miss you like crazy.

Although I know you are with Mom, I will try my best to write you more often like she did. I know you know this, but just remember that you are on my mind constantly. I love and miss my baby brother so much. Your signs are crazy, Charles, and they give us so much comfort, so please help Mom to be able to deliver her signs....you guys have the power/will. We are all still in shock over the wallet....unbelievable! Love you.

Charles, I know you were there waiting for Mom. I can only imagine the reunion between her and her bambino....it gives me chills just thinking about it. Although we are not supposed to understand God's plan, I know that we have to trust it, but I am so baffled and so darn angry, Charles. After you passed, Mom never lost her faith, so I will have to do the same. We really need you to help us. I keep imagining you in Mom's arms and Pop's arms around the both of you. I love and miss you SO much, Charles.

My Dearest son, Charles, Well I really missed you tonight. Truly needed you by your family. Adrianna looked so grown up, and you are so proud of Heather I know. She was so brave and held Adrianna's hand through her dance and then picked her up and held her through the rest of the dance. I am so proud of her. Charles my heart is broken and tonight proved that you really are gone. Like a hard punch in my gut. More everyday my reality becomes more hated. My God I miss you. Always and forever I will love you. I promise. Mom
