Not sure what to say?

Memorial Day is coming and while I try to ignore it, I know the day will come as surely as you are gone. I love you and miss you so very much Charlie. Times get hard and I think of you and pray for strength. I know you are walking with me but oh how I wish you were here. I love you so very much. Momma

Well Charlie it was 18 years ago today at just about this hour that I hugged and kissed you good bye. You were heading back to Ft Hood anticipating your next deployment. My heart was heavy then as it is today. Your death broke me in ways I never knew possible. I love you so much my baby boy and each year gets me one year closer to seeing you again. You are my heart. Love, Momma

Memorial Day is here and of course my heart is heavy with thoughts of you. Hope you are playing ball in the clouds. I love and miss you so very much my son. Momma

Thinking of you on this Memorial Day Weekend. Never forgotten. May you continue to rest in peace. With deepest gratitude-

Oh my Charlie, we made it thru another year. My heart still just aches for you. We will be coming to see you soon. Love coming from my deepest places sent to you today and always. Love Momma

Chuck, Still keeping you in my memory.

Thank you everyone for continuing to remember my Charlie. Live you forever and ever my Charlie.

I always think of you around this time, around times when I reflect back on our deployment. You're never far from my memories on that awful day...but I also think about the last time we laughed when we were at HOPE. Orders PCS'd my family to Washington and as usual I looked you up and couldn't believe you were from Stanwood...I visited your grave before, took my kids to show them true heroism. I'll forever be indebted to you for your selfless sacrifice. I'll pay my respects again SGT. May you...

I am a cousin of the Matheny's that lived in the Eatonville area. We visited Charles' grave in 2016. It was very moving. We lost our son in 2017 and now fully feel his family's pain when losing a son.
