Adam, although I know you are in a better place, it doesn't take the pain away, but it does make it a little easier. I will miss you deeply brother. You can rest assure I will make you proud and become one of the great nurses that took great care of you at Children's Hospital. I will cherish the memories we had together. I love you.

Adam,
I am so glad you were part of my family. I will always remember the beautiful fish tanks you created. I think you could fix anything. When we played games (card or board) you were a worthy opponent. Most of all I appreciate how good you were to my daughter and how you took care of her. When you two looked at each other, the love you shared would light up the room. I take comfort in the fact that you are no longer suffering and are in a better place. Love, Carol Berger

Dearest Adam,
You may physically be gone but you will forever live in our hearts. We have the best memories of your heartfelt laughs as you wrestled with the boys both in and out of the swimming pool. Remember when they wanted Uncle Adam to toss them in the water so much and for so long that the bottom of your feet became raw from the pebbletec in the pool? I will always cherish the beaded jewelery that you made for me, your talent always astounded me. Thank you for the wonderful memories, and thank you, along with Torie, for filling the hole in our lives when John was in Iraq. I know the boys missed their dad and you stepped in and spent lots of times with the boys, and also helped them with any project that they needed help with,especially the building kind or fixing something they had broken. Remeber the playstation fiasco? I will never forget that. We will always love you. To the Charvez Family, our heartfelt condolences to you all. Torie, we love you sis and are here for you for anything. With love, John, Lauretta, Isiah, Garrett and of course, Lola Avina Hollister, Ca..xxxoooo always.

Adam Charvez has always been one of the 'sweet spots' in my world. During tax time, I always hoped he was home so I could chat with him awhile before getting down to "the dirty work' with Torie. Last time I saw him, he was cleaning out the garage in Campbell, making a workshop for himself. I know it's been a long time, but I have always been touched ~ deeply ~ by Adam's CALM-ness...
Enjoy the Journey Adam!

Adam it seems like a few days ago that we visited you in NAS Lemoore. You were only five or six but had lots of fun even then. Later we would go to Lake Comanche, or the Beach in Del Mar because we knew you liked the water so much. You always had the shy smile on your face, but also the look like "Bet you Can't Guess what I'm gonna do next". Later you and Tory would Marry in Gilroy and Richard and I attended that event. We hoped we'd see you around for many more memories, but God had other plans. You showed so much courage the way you spared Mom, Dad and Melissa your bad news over the last year or so. Sometimes people never know "WHAT YOU HAD IN MIND NEXT" but you did. So rest in peace Adam, only you knew what lay ahead and as usual, you were so far ahead of us.
I hope God gives you many beautiful days with smiles, kisses, joys and fishing. You deserve them all. I miss you already but hope to see you in another life. A world thats much better for you and me also. I thank God for allowing me to have known you. Your one of a kind. We'll love you always.

Hey there Adam,
I miss all those unique traits that made you the Adam we all loved. I look forward to fishing with you someday where I'm sure the fish are plentiful. I'm sorry you had to leave us so soon, but that was God's plan, and I am relieved you are no longer suffering. Take care Bro - I love you.

Hi Cuz! It's Linda all I can say is that I miss you very much. I remember the summers we had as kids with you and Melissa with your mom. Your boisterous laugh and that smile. Remember pick out that campsite in heaven for us. For the family camping trip. I know you will have all your gear and poles set up for us. Tell my brothers, cousins, grandparents hello and give them great big bear hugs from me and my family. I will always love you..
