We used to sit and listen to songs that touched our soul like Metallicas "Day that never comes" I wish this day never came! I miss you, mom misses you, Dona misses you, everyone misses you. I´ll see you on the other side....

Rest easy, Charles. Willie and I will miss you. Thanks for being a good friend throughout the years and for coming to the rescue with jumper cables last month! Can't believe we won't see you again - you were there for William's birth and the first person he visited on the way home from the hospital. <3
Condolences and support to all his loved ones that may read this.
