Aunt Shirley and family we are so sorry for the loss of Uncle Charlie. He was a wonderful person and we feel very lucky to have had the time we did with him. Thinking of you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Shirley during this hard time. Gary was so upset to hear the news. He really wanted to spend more time with Charles (like shooting guns). Gary just feels kind of stuck with dialysis 3 times a week. He sends his love. We will miss Charles terribly.

Aunt Shirley, Shelia, Bunny, Keith, and family, I am so sorry what has happened to Uncle Charlie, but he wouldn't want us to be sad, he would want us to celebrate the life he lived and the beautiful people he shared it with. Perhaps they aren't stars in the sky at night, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know that they're happy and watching over us. Love you all.
