Now don´t hang on . Nothing last forever, but the earth and sky it slips away and all your money won´t another moment buy . Have a cigar pal

Charles was one of my favorite relatives to just simply hang out with. Hey, let me get you an ashtray for that cigar.

I am so sorry for your loss, in hard times such as these i´d like to share a bible scripture found in Isaiah 63:9, God sees your distress and feels it too. With love and compassion he will lift you up and carry you.
