Hey I love you dearly. Am very grateful to have had you in my life.
My prayers to the Galloways.
Funny story: Charles, I was playing your song “Scarred” today on youtube. One of my students, not knowing anything about you, started free styling rapping over it. I was touched. You told me to read that prose by Charles Bukowski, that you put on the video, to keep me inspired.
I have learned so much from you that indeed has improved and is improving my life...

Bob and Karen, I am so sorry for your lost of your son Charles. Wish I could be over for the visitation tomorrow, but unable to make the drive from Milton. I remember you consoled me 21 years ago after my similar loss. God bless and keep you both in His care forever.

Charles was special to so many and made a difference in their lives, and while nothing can make this time any easier for you, maybe it will touch your heart to know that while we mourn his loss, we celebrate the gifts we never would have known and the wonderful person he was.

You will be missed by this crazy cat lady. You were the only man who could talk about our cats' freakish behaviors with me for hours. Goodbye Charles. I am so sorry for your loss Mr. and Mrs. Galloway, and Brandon.
