They say time heals all wounds, but only the body but never the heart. As I drive to work and pass the neighborhood I see only darkness because Charles beautiful smile isn't there to brighten it up. We don't have to pray for Charles , he is at peace with his maker who took him to brighten Heaven . We ask Charles to pray for us, help us accept his loss. Charles thanks for all the great memories we share . God Bless you and all the Grugans and family and friends . Some day we will all be together and happy again.
