Chuck, you'll never will know how much I loved you.

My children loved you more than you knew.

I want to thank for the great talks we have had, the laughter and tears we have shared, for being Jill's Godmother,the good times we had with you and AAron in California so many years ago,for being there for me when I needed your help, especially when Jerry died, but most of all I want to thank you for being a friend and the best brother ever.

I will love and miss you forever.

Rest in peace{if grandma Hilda will let you} you have earned it. Love you.

Your sister , Sharon

Today is a day that I thought would
never come. So much to say, and no
more time to say it. You will never
know how much you have meant to
me over the years. You took an
interest in me at a very important
time in my life, when I thought that
nobody cared. It made a difference,
you made a difference! Much of the good I have within me came from you. I'm sure that I'm a much better
person having had you in my life. If I could have taken all the pain and sickness for you I would have. My head knows you're gone, but my heart is all confused. I would give anything to have you here now. I guess I'll have to settle for the fact that you are at peace and no longer in pain. Unfortunately that does not make it any easier to deal with. You
will be missed terribly. There is a
song by the Eagles that talks about
a "hole in the world tonight'. There
certainly is! Rest in peace!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
