I am still shocked about Charles passing away. Charles was a wonderful neighbor to me, always looked out for me and made sure that I was okay, he even brought me a meal sometimes. He was funny, kind, and a gentleman. He was a great friend to my Brother in law Darryl and my sister Michelle. He was a good man who will be missed by many. May he Rest In Heaven. Prayers for the Ely Family, his loved ones and friends.

Our hearts are broken, our minds in disarray. Although we love you to life, The Lord knew you couldn't stay. We miss your tender heart, we miss your infectious smile, but we thank God that He loaned you to us for just a short while. Charles, now you're at peace, so rest my love. You now have truly earned your wings like a dove.
