Charlie, You were a great cousin, Son, Brother, Nephew, Friend and person and we all miss you so much. Everyone that has talked or written about you has said what we all knew. You were a great person with a contagious smile with a heart so big... You will forever be remembered and LOVED just as much. Play on Cuz. Be happy! Love you always! Charla

I won't forget the many times i opened my door to you standing there with a smile on your face. I regret not getting to see you after you came back to Longview. I will miss you till I open my door to you in heaven.

I don't know if you remember me, but Charlie and I were good friends throughout elementary, and I loved him so much. He was so funny, and everyday we sat together on the bus. He always stood up for me and had the best jokes. We shared many great memories throughout those years together. I only wish I had let him know how much he really meant to me. I thought of him as one of my best friends for a long time. His life and death have touched me so deeply, and I only wish I could see him and...

My prayers are with you and I am so sorry about your loss. Give my love to everyone! My (5 yr. old) daughter Lexie is going to miss him as they would often play together at her father's house. She's still too young to understand. God Bless~

To Charlie's family - I don't really know you...but I remember riding the school bus with Charlie (and Kassi) and they were a lot of fun! And so beautiful!

My mom told me about when he was a little guy and she was his Good News teacher, she asked what he would do if Jesus knocked on his door. And, eyes wide, he said "I'd fall on my knees..."

I just wanted to give you a word of encouragement...in Romans 8:38 it says "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,...

Peace and Love, Charlie......
Peace I leave with you;my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
John 14:27

I remember Charlie with great fondness. He was in my Good News class and although he was a bit mischievious at times, he was so sincere about the Lord and excited to show me his bible. His smile was infectious and I will never forget him. My prayers are with all of you.
Sincerely, Kris Bicknell

Sweet Teresa, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. You are a wonderful mother and hardworking parent. I so remember how attentive, loving, and caring you were to your children.

When I think of Charlie, he is about seven to me with a big toothy smile! I know that Charlie is with God and when the time is right you will see him again.

I will give you a call in a week or so.

Much love to you,
Carolynn
