Not sure what to say?

I will never stop missing Charles and John. Their passing has left a hole in my life, as it has for many other friends and family who loved them.

John and Charles were perfect neighbors. I attended several functions at their home. Charles had just put his home up for sale. I had planned to visit him before he left..and now this. we will miss him dearly.

I don't think I ever heard an unkind word from this man. Heaven is welcoming him for sure.

I'm so heartbroken Charlie is gone from this Earth, but I know he is with his beloved John and that helps ease the sadness.
He was the dearest and kindest man, a loving partner and husband, a good friend and had the most glorious voice ever. And a wicked wit. And a grand laugh. May Grace hold him close forever.

When Charles sang with Mandy Beason, it was magic. I knew John since we were Drama students at UGA. I never saw John as happy as he was with Charles. They were two of my favorite people and the world is less vibrant without them. Charles brought so much to his life and all his friends.

Sorry for your loss Ruth. I remember his beautiful voice at church and Ericas wedding.

Is this adorable or what?

Wedding cake in Baltimore. Not as grand as the one at their Atlanta wedding celebration but still wonderful.
