Charles Franklin Hurley

Dear Evelyn, Pam and Cindy,
We were so sorry to hear that Charles had passed on. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by so many of us. May you find strength and comfort in knowing that Charles is with Jesus, in whose presence is fullness of joy. And may God hold you up with His loving arms in the days ahead.

Dear Evelyn,Cindy and Pam. We are so sorry for the loss of your husband and dad. We thought a lot of Charles and enjoyed talking with him most Saturdays. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers and may God comfort you during the difficult days ahead. Love, Bobby and Glenna

Evelyn, My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God comfort you with your sweet memories until you can be together again.

Dear Evelyn, Pam and Cindy, Terry and I loved Charles so much and will miss him. He was one of a kind and always kept us kids laughing. We love you all and are here if you need us.

Just wanted you to know from the staff on 3 West that we are praying for the family and that Mr. Hurley was a very sweet man and now an angel in heaven.

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.
