Charley, it's been so long since you've gone to live with the Lord. But missing you never seemed to go away. I could never forget all those fun times we shared as cousins and we got so close we were like brother and sister. I just wish those time could still continue. I just hope you are having a great life in heaven with the Lord God our savior.

-Cousin
It has been so long since you went to live eternally with the Lord I haven't even been counting. I misss you so much and I feel it is unfair sometimes that you aren't here anymore because of your illness, but really it was God's way of bringing us all together and closer to him. Right now you are with our amazing savior and though I really miss you, you are having eternal life in heaven with God where you are truly happy.
Love with all my Heart,
Maria, your cousin but even more your Gege

I just came to this site while looking for some information on my husband's illness. I have never known this amazing child or his loving family but after hours of reading your story, I feel as if I almost had known them.
His joy and strength are so inspirational and I'm sure that all who knew him in life were so very blessed by his presence. As parents you gave him stability, happiness, and love to live out the remainder of his life. God bless you and thank you for sharing your story.
