Uncle Charlie you were the best and will be missed by so many. You will always be one of my heroes. Life has thrown us so many challenges but it is how a elder tells us to live life to the fullest. You have always been a hard working man who provided for his family. I know I will miss you a great deal and I will always have wonderful memories of you and how you touched the hearts of many. I know you are in Heaven with Aunt Donna looking down at all with huge smiles on your faces. I know someday I will see you, Aunt Donna, mom and dad but till that day I will share your memories with my own children and grand children. I love and miss you.
