Charles came into my life when I married his Uncle Bob. He was only 3 years old. Charles had a favorite piece of cloth..."Blousey".

As we grew closer and closer, Charles liked my bubble gum....I would trade a piece of the blousey for a piece of gum...eventually he liked gum as much as his blousey....However, I could not get all of the blousey.....he still held a piece of it....kinda like he held a piece of your heart when you met him.....Charles was a very loving and caring child and man....Charles loved his family and always expressed his love for all his family. We will always miss him and love him.

I've known Chalie for about 27 yrs.He was the type of friend you could always count on. I can remember so many times talking to him and he was always there to lend his ear.He used to tell me that "Heaven was missing an Angel" Well I guess it isn't anymore! There are so many great things about him I could say. He will be missed so much. To his family I say "Look up and reach out, Cling simply to God and journey quietly on your pathway to forever with charity and a smile. He will always be in your Heart.
