No person is ever truly alone.
Those who live no more,

Echo still within our thoughts,
Our words, our hearts.
And what they did
And who they were
Becomes a part of all that we are,
Forever.

I was not fortunate to have known Charlie personally but all the wonderful stories I heard of him from Kelly made me feel as if I did.
I know that if you can tell how fine a man someone was by how kind and woderful their children are then Charlie was a superstar.
To Kelly, Collin and Madeline, you have all our heartfelt sympathy. We wish we were there to give all of you a hug.
Please know that you are in our hearts and our prayers.
