My Uncle Charles was a unique, loving and interesting man who was blessed to have a family that loved him. I will miss his presence terribly and will look back fondly over our time together. Having spent every Thanksgiving and Christmas with him my entire life, I'm sure that those holidays will bear his absence. However, I am grateful that his misery is over, thankful to know that he knew the Lord in his heart and happy that he is with my grandma again. She has her Charlie back.
