Uncle Charles my life will never be the same without you in it reminding me of you watching over me while the rest of the family was picking cotton. Explaining to me how we could have this special big brother, little sister bond even living so far apart. So happy you are at peace and with Aunt Sarah and all our family. Hug everyone for me until we´re all together again. I love you so much Uncle Charles.
