It seems like only yesterday you left us. You were my favorite uncle. Not only were you fun to be around, but also because you never had an unkind word to say about anyone and were always willing to help anyone out without hesitation.

Miss you and I hope that they have Seinfeld reruns in Heaven.

Hey Charles, This is not for any anniversary of your passing or your birthday. Some days I just miss you more than others, and this is one of those days. I wish I could have some bad memories to counteract all the good ones, but I really really don't. You always were so kind to all of us. It was easy to love you. You never argued any points or had to have things your way. You were just a good ole' boy. And you loved Roberta so much, and took such good care of her. I know this little message doesn't sound believable, but it is really true. I wonder what you are doing up there and if you can see us down here. If you can, you can still see she never stopped loving you. That would have been almost impossible for her I guess, I know how hard it is for me. Just wanted to say tomorrow is Thanksgiving, one of your favorite eating holidays, (haha)and one of the things I am most thankful for was the love you brought into our life. It was so pure and unassuming, didn't require any maintenance and just seemed to grow all the time. We all miss you, and still love you. Hope all of yours and our loved ones are up there with you.
1 Corinthians 1:4King James Version (KJV)
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ

April 11, 2014

Sorry to be a day late, but the old gray mare ain't what she used to be. I think of you, so very often it even surprises me. I've never really known a man as good as you were, and the things you did and the kindness and care you showed were kind of unbelievable, but you made a believer out of me. You had the biggest smile, the most forgiving heart, and you just fit right into our family. We often thought the reason we never had a real brother was because The Lord was saving you for us. But most of all, thanks for all the love you had for Roberta and how lovingly you cared for her. One other thing in closing, thanks for always loving Daddy so unconditionally. I do believe that the two of you might be up there playing either Texas Hold'em or dominoes. I miss you bunches. Love, Louise

April 10, 2014

Happy birthday Chuck. We think of you always.

I can't believe that two years has passed since you have been gone. It still seems like hours not years. I miss you so much baby! All the days, all the hours, my thoughts always come back to you. A song, a word, a picture, everything reminds me of you honey! As long as we were together, we were happy. I am grateful to have all of the wonderful memories of our life together, I hold them close to my heart - they help me get through life. You are loved and missed by everyone whose life you touched, all of your family and friends - you will never be forgotten honey!
A bright light went out in my life when you were gone, now life is much darker without you. I will always be waiting for you baby.

Tomorrow will be 2 long years since you left us. It's still hard but we manage. Holidays, special events are not the same without you. Kinsley is graduating Kindergarten in May and we sure wish you were here to see that. I know you will be looking down at us on that special day of hers. Everyone is well. We miss you and love you so much.

Today is Valentine's Day baby! I still can't believe I am here without you. I miss you so much! Every day you are in my heart - and today I have the sweet memories of your love. You promised me on our wedding day that I would hear the words "I Love You" every day of our life together, and you kept your promise - every morning, every evening, together or apart I heard those beautiful words! I am so blessed to have been given such an amazing gift - to have been loved by someone as wonderful as you - a loving husband, a wonderful friend and the love of my life. Because of you I know what true love is - the way you loved your family, my family and the way you loved me! I miss you baby!

"Past, Present, Future and for all Eternity - I love you and I miss you -My Angel!"

My dearest angel, tommorow is a year and eight months since you have been gone, and it is Christmas. I miss you so much baby! Every single day you are on my mind and in my heart! When I look down at our wedding rings I remember all the love, laughter and happiness you have given me for so many amazing years. I am eternally grateful that God gave me such a wonderful gift when He brought us together. That is what I am thankful for this Christmas - all of the magical and wonderful moments we have had together and all of the joyful memories you have given me and our families and friends - I am grateful for every single second that we had together. I miss you baby! I know we will be together again!!

Charles, I'm missing and thinking about you so much this holiday. We aren't doing so good down here. Roberta is very strong, you would be so proud of her.

Charles, just wanted to say that I miss you and also wondering if they have "Seinfeld" in Heaven. If they do, it would give new meaning to "Serenity Now!", huh?

Dear Uncle Charles,
I miss you alot, I tell the girls stories of you to keep your spirit alive.We miss you.

October 25, 2011

Today is one year and six months since I lost you baby! It seems an eternity since I have seen your beautiful smile - and yet - it seems like yesterday I was holding your hand... hearing your laughter. I miss you so much honey! God has His hand on me, taking care of me, I could not make it through another day without Him. I know you are watching over me too baby! I miss you!!!
Our family and friends keep your memory close - you are at every gathering, every event, there is always a heartwarming story or a sweet remembrance of you.
Words can't say how much I miss you or how much I love you! I know we will be together again one day!

"Past, Present, Future and for all Eternity - I love you and I miss you - My Angel!"

Love always and forever, Roberta

Charles (a.k.a. T-bone)
I can't believe it has been over a year already. When things get bad, I think about the good times that I got to share with you. You never had a bad word to say about anyone, and we could all count on you to make us laugh. You encouraged us to become better people, and you always saw the best in us, even when we couldn't see it for ourselves. If I said that I wasn't angry for not being able to say goodbye to you, I would be lying. But, knowing you, you would say that things happen for a reason, and not to be angry and accept things for the way they are. You will always be my Yoda, and I am thankful for everything you did for me. I love you and I know without a doubt that you, Uncle Ron, and Grandma are in Heaven, watching down on us, helping to guide us through our tough times. Again, I miss you and I hope that you will be proud of the things that I will one day do.

Love always, Joey.

It has been over a year since my nephew, Charles, died. I remember him especially as a newborn and watching his father & mother deal with their first baby. He came to Indiana when he was 6 for a visit and I thought he was the brightest and best 6 year old. He was always very social and kind to everyone as an adult.

Louise Walters

April 25, 2011

We spend most of our days taking life for granted. The weather, world events, and unfortunately, the people we love. Although I loved Charles, it took losing him to make me realize how totally special he was. Charles was funny, understanding, loving and the most forgiving and compassionate person I ever knew. Really. He loved life, Roberta, family, work,sports and friends with all that he had. When he breezed into a room he brought laughter and a feeling of relaxation along with him. He had that inimitable way of putting himself on your level and making you feel like you were the only person in the room. That in itself is a special gift. Today, don't forget to smell the roses, show some love to someone you know needs it, and see if you might have some of those same gifts Charles used so freely.

His life as well as his legacy live on in my heart and mind forever.
Louise

Chuck,
Not a day goes by that John and I don't think about you. Kinsley still talks about you when she see photos of you. Addison didn't get to know your humor, kindness and love like Kinsley, but she will be told in many, many stories, videos and pictues we can share. It's hard to believe a year has come and gone. You will never, never be forgotten. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!! Tammy, John, Kinsley and Addison

Uncle Chuck - it seems like a year ago our family got dropped into the Twilight Zone and the world hasn't been the same since you left. I miss the weekends we had hoped to bring our kids over to see you and Aunt Robbie. I miss the light you brought to our lives. Every time I hear that John Mayer song I tear up. Thank you for always thinking up fun & creative ways to make life better and brighter for those you loved.

My dearest Angel, it has almost been a year since you have been gone, and still every morning I wake and remember - you are not beside me. Every night I pray that I might be blessed to dream of you and your sweet smile.

I have no words to describe how much I miss you darling, I have no words to say how much I LOVE YOU!

In a short while it will be your birthday honey, and I remember with joy all the wonderful years together and the countless memories of special moments filled with love and laughter that God has blessed me with.

My only happiness now is knowing that we will be together again one day in Heaven and we will never be seperated again.

"Past, Present, Future and for all Eternity - I Love You Baby!"

Happy Birthday!

All My LOVE FOREVER,

Your Adoring Wife,

Dear Roberta, Mike, Maidee, John, and Aunt Rita:

Please know that our prayers are with you and your family during this tragic time. I can’t begin to say how sorry I am to hear of this tragedy. I looked up to Chuck growing up so much. His humor and smile was infectious!!! His kind and loving personality could warm the entire earth. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. I don’t believe Chuck ever met a stranger. He treated everyone with such sincere compassion. I don’t know why bad things have to happen to such wonderful people. My Mom taught me to trust in God and He will guide you through each day. Know that we love you and are here for you.

I had the PLEASURE of working with Charlie at Burrelles. Although I am in NJ, we would talk often. One of the highlights of working was when Charlie came to NJ as I really enjoyed being in his company. I can tell he was raised right as you could not find a nicer guy. He was fun to be with and a true gentleman. Roberta, just to let you know, Charlie and I always had our annual dance at our company Christmas parties. Such a fun guy. Although, we are not going through what your family is going through now, please know how very muched he was loved by his Burrelle's family. He was truly a favorite of mine. My Sincere sympathies.
