Uncle Chal, We're missing you even more now with everything that is going on. The only comfort I have is knowing that Pop is coming home to you. Please take care of him and show him the ropes. We love you both tremendouslyIIII xoxo

December 1, 2012

Hey Uncle Chal! I don't know exactly what to say, I'm actually at a lost for words right now. I'm sure you see whats going on. We wish you were here with us to help us all through this. But we know your watching down and your helping in your own special way. Please look over everyone, we really need you. Love you! XOXOXOXO

July 18, 2012

It's been six years already. They talk about the seven phases of grief. It starts with shock & pain and ends with acceptance. I think that's all true. July 18th was a tough day the first few years but now it helps remind me of the times when you were around. It also reminds me that life is short and I shouldn't take it for granted. So thanks for that. Until we meet again...

Casey

Well Uncle Chal, today is a bitter sweet day for the family. We are all excited and happy for Little Chalie and Lauren, they just had their 2nd child. His name is Charles David Clothier IV. Of course your son said they are going to call him C4. LOL. I am sure you are smiling. It is awesome, but of course EVERYONE is wishing you were here to see him. I will post a picture as soon as I get one. I miss you like crazy. Love you.

Chal,

We could use a little help right now.I'm sure your watching and you see what we're up against. If there's any way you can help us out I'd appreciate it.We need The Miracle at the Meadowlands or The Miracle On Ice. We need the biggest upset in Little League History.We're bringing butter knives to a gunfight. It's us against the Dreaded Tigers.First place versus last Place. David versus Goliath. Good versus Evil.Every underdog story ever written, cannot compare to what we're up against. At this point my kids have been playing there hearts out and we just can't seem to win a game. If there's any kind of mystic MOJO you can give us from the other side , we could use it. Thanks.

Happy Birday Old Man! You know I was totally cool today, woke up, I had to get Tyler, Jacob and Chris up and moving, then I got to work and realized what today was. You would think after all this time I would be okay, it would just be a happy memory of you on your birthday, but its not. I am still mad, why did you have to go, why did god decide you. I don't mean to bum you out it is just how I feel. I still feel so guilty wishing there was more I could do, I would have moved the world for you, just like you would have for me. Well listen enough crying for today, help mom-mom she always takes it the hardest today. Enjoy what you have now. Love you.

Candice

Uncle Chalie...what can I say? It's been forever since I wrote but there is not a day that goes by where I don't think about you. Our family will always be missing a part but I know that you will always be watching over us. Miss you lots..Love you.

Hey Chal i know it has been a real long long time and I have no excuse. I think about you every day. i just don't always find the time to go on the computer to let you know. I think i miss you around for Dad the most. I know in my heart that he misses you every single day. i think he thinks about when he goes he might be able to see you again. I miss having you around all the time. For absolutely no reason i'll just start thinking about you. Easter was really hard for me. Your Grand daughter is sooooo cute I think I got me a new little friend. You know how I am not the huggy kissy type. well Ryan walked right up to me and grabbed my chin and gave me a kiss for no reason, I was blown away. When she was leaving I tied to give her a high five and she TOLD me come here and give me a kiss. Elwood told me i better do what she says she means business. it wass the cutest thing ever. i wish you could be here to see how beautiful she really is and what good parents Lauren and Chalie really are. I got to go I miss you lots and really wish you were here. love Hannie

Casey

January 18, 2010

Sorry for not writing in a LONG time. But is seems the longer it is the harder it is, and I am sorry for that. I am sorry for a lot of things. You have missed so much lately and there are just times (like now) that I miss you so much. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you or things we should have said to each other or pictures that I should have taken. Things are okay right now, but I think if you could try to help and make things better that would be great. Your kids need you and even if you aren't here in person try to send them signs, make them grow up, make them realize that they aren't alone.

What I really want to say to you is that I am sorry. People said I did a lot for you, but I just can't help to think it wasn't enough. I really wish this family would have changed a little and talk more about their feelings and what they want, and just be forward with want they need, but we can't we are all so scared to hurt someone or lose them, that is has been like walking on egg shells. So your job for 2010 is for you and everyone else up there is to give us all the strenght that we need. I love you, always remember that. See you soon.

Love Casey.

Today is your birthday....and I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop thinking about all the wonderful things you are missing out on...Damien's birthday party was Sunday, you would have been so proud of the kids, Laura was our hostess and Charlie was the muscle - carrying all the gifts back to the house for his sister. It's amazing how well they are getting along.

Love ya,
Miss ya,

Candice

July 21, 2008

Hey Uncle Chal,

I can't believe it is two years since you left us. People say it gets easier to deal with it but honestly it doesn't. Yes we put on brave faces but at the end of the day you know we still miss you. We are still saying the eight kids then when we realize there are only seven our hearts break. Uncle Chal, it is just not the same without you. You should be here watching your grandchildren grow and your children being parents. Well, I miss you more and more each day. I will always love you.

Susan

Congrats! You are a pop-pop for the 2nd time. Laura had a little boy, 8lbs, 9 ounces. His name is Damian Charles. They are both doing great. We actually just helped them leave the hospital! Boy, moments like this makes me miss you more and more. I love you, you are never far from my thoughts. Talk to you soon.

Susan

March 13, 2008

Hi Chal,
I don't know what happened, I wrote you 2 days ago, its not here. I wanted you to know about Laura's baby shower. I think she got everything she needed, it won't be long now!! Your grandson is almost ready to meet the family! I just hope they can wait until I get back in town. I'm going to South Carolina at the end of the month, she's due the beginning of April. We're cutting it a little close. Don't worry too much about her, I'm still watching over both the kids, just like I promised. They're doing pretty good!! I was at the house last week, we were putting the crib together, boy we needed you! But we got it. Ty did most of it, he's a pretty good kid,(so far) ha ha. I'll let you know if he screws up, they seem happy, thats all that really counts, right?
Got to go, I'm still really missing you alot!!!! I love you

Hi Chal,
The holidays are over! It's just not the same, without you!! I am glad to tell you, your kids were there for Mom's birthday and Christmas day at Casey's. Your grand daughter is getting big! Everytime I see her, I think how great of a pop pop you would have been. The poor kid really got ripped off! By next year she'll be giving the boys a run for thier money (ha ha.)
I still think of you every day, I really miss you!!!!
Love always,

Hi Chal,
Well its another late sleepless night, I think thats when I think of you the most. I guess by now you know about Jack? It's so hard to believe, he was really only sick twenty days, then he was gone. It was so fast. I feel for Karen. I wish there was something I could do for her. I'm hoping you and Jack are up there in heaven watching out for everyone here.
I know one thing, I really need your help now, you and Ant. I'm really trying to keep an eye on the kids, but they don't make it easy, but I guess you know that. Charlie's doing ok, in fact I was at the house helping Lauren paint a couple of weeks ago. We did the down stairs, it wasn't finished when I left, But I'm pretty sure they got everything done. I'll find out this week when I see Charlie, Lauren and little Ryan for Thanksgiving. I'm so glad they are comming to Tom's for dinner. Your granddaughter is wonderful!! A little doll baby!! Now Laura, I'm not sure of, I've been trying to get her by phone, but that's not working, I have messages in to her to call me. But I haven't heard from her yet. Please keep an eye on her, she needs you.
This is the second Thanksgiving without you, it's not getting any easier. We all miss you so much!
I guess I better try to get some sleep, I have Logan tomorrow, its going to be a busy day.
Still missing you alot
Still loving you more

Hi Chal,
Last week our little brother was married. You were greatly missed. Your son was in the bridal party, he looked so handsom, he walked with Linda. All of us were in the wedding. Jamie had your captain and gingerale on the head table, just like he said he would. The weather was the only thing that didn't cooperate. They were talking about that song, "Holes in the floor of Heaven". Was that you guys up there letting us know you were watching? I hope so.
Love You
Miss You

Hi Chal,
Yesterday was me and Len's 26th anniversary. We went out for a nice dinner. It was also Casey's 30th birthday the other day. Of course we had a big surprise party for her, last week. We really missed you there!!Do you believe she's 30?!!!
I saw Charlie and Lauren last Saturday. They joined us at a miniature golf outting, then back to the club. It was a nice time. Your granddaughter is beautiful, I've been trying to see her as much as I can. Laura's been babysitting for Candice, so I see her too.
I guess by now you know all about Jack. We lost him so fast, it's still hard to believe. I feel so bad for Karen. Your son was there, and I know it was hard for him, but he still was there. That was one of the times Laura was watching the boys for Candice.
Well next week we're leaving for Disney, with the kids, everybody but Logan. He's to young to enjoy it. He'll have to wait a few years.
I better get to bed, I have another busy day tomorrow. I'm still missing you!!
Love you
Susie

Hi Chal,

Okay, so I have tried a few times now to post something to you and it hasn't come up. I hope this one does! Well, I still can't believe its been a whole year already. I really miss you and I wish you were still here with us. Yesterday I was hanging out with Ryan and all I could think about, is how I wished you could be here to see her. I know in a way this is good, because you can watch over her all the time, but it would still be better to have you here. I love you Uncle Chal, and miss you VERY much!

Susan

August 15, 2007

Hi Chal,
Me Mom and Louise went to see your grand-daughter, Ryan Marie, today. She is beautiful!!! Everyone is just fine. I wish you could see your son, he is the PROUD DADDY!!!! They look so happy, it was great to see the new little family together. I can't help thinking what you and Ant would say if you were here.
Me and Mom went to see the house today too. You would be so proud of Charlie and what he has done to the house. The nursery is beautiful!! He did the bathroom and the bedroom too. The new rugs will be installed tomorrow. He has really worked hard getting things fixed up for his family.I think they'll all be very happy there. You have great kids, they just seem to be getting better every day. I'm so proud of both of them. And don't you worry about the baby, she has everything she needs. Everyone has seen to that!!
Kristy had her baby girl last week. We went to see them too. She's beautiful! Now we're waiting for Jessy, she due in a few weeks. This family is growing fast.
I wish you were here to enjoy all of it. I know you and Ant would have been the best grandparents ever!! You guys are really missed, alot!! I love you!!

Laura's Graduation

July 19, 2007

Hey Chal, for someone who was always kinda quiet you sure have lots of people talking to you. I can't believe it's been a year. It seems like yesterday I was saying how unfair it was... too young, way too young and with so much to look forward to. I still don't understand why. Then I remember how painful it was and I think that it's really better for you (not that it makes it any easier). Not only aren't you in pain but you're with Antoinette and you get a really clear view of EVERYTHING. Young Charles and Laura are doing well. I'm proud of Laura for her accomplishments and I try to make it a point to seek them out at parties; after all, just cause you were bigger than us didn't make you one of the older cuzzes (you know what I mean). I miss you and think about you alot. It's almost two years for Mom and ... well, you know. Give hugs to all and watch over everyone and keep us close. love ya...

HI CHAL,
WE (ME, LINDA, HANNIE, MOM, AND CASEY) WENT TO THE CEMETERY ON SATURDAY, WE PLANTED SOME BULBS, WE WANT IT TO LOOK VERY NICE. YOU AND ANT MUST GET ALOT OF VISITORS, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW OVER THERE FROM ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. YOU KNOW, DONNIE'S NOT THERE ANY MORE, SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT LOOKS GOOD, LIKE YOU USE TO DO.
WELL, IT'S BEEN A WHOLE YEAR ALREADY, AND IT STILL HURTS. I WAS UP ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT, THINKING OF A YEAR AGO. WE THOUGHT WE WERE TAKING YOU HOME THAT DAY, BUT GOD HAD OTHER PLANS FOR YOU. I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND, WHY??? THE KIDS LOSING THIER MOTHER AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE, THEN YOU, WHY??? I THINK ABOUT THAT EVERY DAY. I WENT TO VISIT YOU TODAY, MAYBE I KNOW THE ANSWER NOW, OR MAYBE I DON'T. THE ONLY THING I CAN COME UP WITH, IS, GOD MUST OF HAD A REALLY GOOD REASON TO TAKE BOTH OF YOU AWAY FROM ALL OF US. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE SOMEDAY I'LL UNDERSTAND WHY. BUT FOR NOW,I'M STILL MISSING YOU ALOT,I LOVE YOU

Hi Uncle Chal,
I know it has only been a year but, it feels so much longer. I miss you more now then ever. There has been so much going on that your in my thoughts all the time because, it feels like someone is missing, then I realize that you are. I wish you were home with all of us but, I know your new home is better and now you can watch over all of us. I know you know we all miss you but it is still nice to be heard. MISS YOU LOTS.
Love

Uncle Chalie,

I can't get over that it has been a whole year since you were taken from us. I know you are no longer in pain or suffering but I just wish you were still here.

Well, Chris still talks about you and I hope that he has some stories to tell Logan when he gets bigger. I just wanted to say I love you and miss you so much.

Love you.

Hi Ant & Chal,

Well soon you will be Grandmom & Grandpop. It's a little girl or maybe a big girl.I'm still waiting!!

Lauren is getting pretty big and she still has, june 7 July left. Hopefully on my birthday Aug 1st. I will be so thrilled if she does have it then. I can't wait to spoil her rotten, just as the two of you would, sorry you have to miss this, but I know you'll be around to watch over her.

Oh, and you would be so proud of Laura, she graduated on June 8th. I know the two of you were there and wouldn't miss it for the world. Please watch over her.

Well now that i got that off my mind. I'll say good-bye for now. Talk to you soon.

Hey! So, did you think she wouldn't make it????????? Well, she did! Thank God! No more driving up to hickville! LOL J/K It was a little hard being there and knowing how much you wanted to be there with us. But like Mom said, we know you were there in spirit. Keep an eye on us up there. I love you and miss you dearly.

Hi Chal,
I was going to tell you about Laura's graduation, but I see Susie already updated you.

Casey and Ray are buying a new house and Casey asked me for this ice maker for a housewarming gift (just kidding, I think), the first thing I did was go for the phone, I thought you and I could go halfers, as usual, but guess what...so needless to say, Casey's not getting the ice maker. MISS YOU,
Linda

LAURA GRADUATED WITH HER CLASS, AND WE WERE ALL THERE, ME, LINDA, MOM, KELLY, CHARLIE, LAUREN,LOUISE, TONY,LINDA,PETE, SHERLY,AND AUNT KELLY. I KNOW YOU GUYS WERE WATCHING, WHAT DID YOU THINK? WASN'T IT LIKE THE 70'S HIPPIE MOVEMENT? I NEVER SEEN A GRADUATION LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE, EVEN IN THE 70'S. I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT, EVEN DOWN TO THE POT LUCK DINNER THEY SERVED. THE ONLY THING WAS THE HEAT!! COULDN'T YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THAT??? YOUR DAUGHTER EVEN WORE THE CAP AND GOWN FOR PICTURES. CHARLIE WANTED TO BUY HER A YEAR BOOK, BUT LAURA SAID SHE WASN'T IN IT, SO THEY DIDN'T GET ONE. IT WAS A GREAT DAY!!
CHIS GRADUATED FROM PRE SCHOOL IN THE MORNING, THEN LAURA, AND LITTLE DAVID AT NIGHT FROM ROMAN. AND IT WAS ALSO STEVEN'S SR. PROM. WHAT A BUSY DAY!!!
I'M SO PROUD OF YOUR KIDS!!! YOU WOULD OF BEEN SO HAPPY! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE, I KNOW YOUR SPIRIT WAS THERE.
LIFE NOT FAIR, BUT YOUR KIDS ARE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN! THATS ALL WE CAN ASK OF THEM NOW!!

Hi Uncle Chalie,

It's been a long time since I wrote to you but I think about you everyday. I know things should be easier by now but it still feels like you left us yesterday. I just wish you were still with us but I know that you will always be a part of this family. I bet you and Ant are very proud of Laura. Well, I just wanted to say I miss you and love you so much.

Love,
Candice

Hey... I always had trouble remembering the day of your birthday - knew it was in April but that was it. So last week when you and Mom "visited" me, I checked your card. It's a little scary to know you guys have that power up there but I'm glad and wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday (it would have been sooner but my computer is down at home). In the dream it was me and Susie (of course) and Mom and you so I knew something was up. I hope you're watching everyone up there; you really have to watch the 'ladies', they'll gang up on your and Uncle Walt that's for sure. Miss your crooked smile at parties; always quietly sitting there and enjoying the 'show'. Love you and miss you.
