Lowe,
I remember meeting you as our Postman back in Parkchester as a kid. My Mother, Father and Grandmother was always fond of you and considered you family. You were always a nice and kind person and my fondest memory would be when I found out that your first name was not Lowe. For many years I called you Mr. Lowe and when I heard someone else call you Charles, I asked why? I honesty thought Lowe was your first name!!! Your laughter and wisdom will be missed. Your battle is over and you have now earned your wings! Rest in Peace and Power.......

Brother Lowe, any other time I wouldn't have a problem talking. Today I find myself lost for words. As I sit here thinking back to November when I last saw you. You were full of life, spirit and strength. Even though you was smack in the middle of your treatments you still showed that Warrior mentality, never complaining or questioning why. I always enjoyed the times we all spent together over the years. You are like my Big Brother. You fought a good battle Bro, get your rest. Tell my family I send them love. See you later. Your Bro (Billy Boy)

My boy! Mr. C or Mr. Charlie as I always called you. You and Ms. Lu were by beautiful neighbors on Queensway for 9 years!! The epitome of loving, and loyal neighbors. You always looked out for me cutting my grass, holding packages for me, just an all around amazing friend. I can hear you now "What´s up my Lin"?!
It tears me to come to reality of not seeing your earthly steps again but I know for sure I´ll see you on the other side. You´ve earned your wings my friend, fly high and rest easy. You and Ms. Lu are once again joined together in paradise. Love and miss you both immensely.
