In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Brother since you have gone the world is not the same. You were loved by many and missed by all now that you have gone. No matter what Teri, Billy, and I will watch over you and make sure you are never forgotten and your wishes are never not honored. We will love your Daughter Jazmyn just like you would have wanted us too and make sure we keep your memory alive for her. It has been a month but everyday seems like a fog you were my brother my best friend good bad or in different we were bound by sibling love and friendship. I promise you I will still be the mama bear i was to you growing up and make sure things are right for Jazmyn.
Love you always your sister

As you told me. We had a rough first year. But we had so many plans for a better life together. Thank you for showing me what an amazing husband truly is. I'm sorry for everything i put you through and I'm thankful that you stayed by my side through everything. I can't believe that we just celebrated one year together and that God decided it was your time to go shortly there after. Emily and I miss you so much. Thank you for giving us the world and showing it to us through your eyes. I'll see you soon Mr. Hostetler, my husband, my life. XOXO

Chuck, we are so sorry you had to leave so soon but we trust God's plan. If any good has come out of this we have got to meet your precious Jazmyn and grandma has got to spend time with her once again. Penny has shared fond memories of you playing with Q & J, I could just picture it as she spoke as you were always great with our kids. You will be greatly missed. We love you!

Life is full of twists and turns but God threw a huge curve ball when he took you so suddenly. You were a huge part of our kiwi family for 10 years, celebrating many occasions and mile stones with us all. We shared so many fun times at the beach, at each others houses and not many days went by that we didn't see you as we lived so close to each other. You gave everyone the most precious gift when Jazmyn was born and if I promise you one thing, it is that I will be there for your baby to help guide her through life. Until we meet again Charles, RIP xx

Charles I'm still in shock with the news of your passing. At this time I want to send my deepest condolences to your family, and give them the strength to get through this hard time. I have many fond memories of you and your time here in New Zelaland and I feel privileged to have had you as my uncle. You had such a great character and taught me to have enthusiasm in everything I do in life.Thank you for your precious gift to our world (Jazmyn) I promise to look after your Punky for you as she grows in to a wonderful young lady. It was a pleasure to have had you in our family for the 10 years you were here. You will be greatly missed, always in our thoughts and prayers. Your legacy will live on through your daughter. Rest in Love.

I never thought I would be writing this right now and it all seems like life can be so unfair, you were far too young to have left this world but the 10 years you shared with us here in New Zealand are some of the best memories I can remember, you truly were an awesome uncle to have. You were always so passionate about everything you did in life and you always shared your passions with us. My heart goes out to your family, I can't imagine the pain they must all be feeling at this incredibly hard time. You will forever be apart our our family here in New Zealand as well, and you can rest in peace knowing that we will always be there for your little punky.
Rest in peace Charles xo

I would never have thought that I would be writing this message to you Charles
But God has taken you when He saw fit.You were always giving of your time and always gave what ever you did your all
I miss those times when we would get together with our families and have dinners at random times
Miss our guitar jam sessions too bro
I'll see you at the crossroads my friend
Till then

What a pleasure it was knowing you, Chuck. Hardly seems fair that you were taken at such a young age, but solace comes in knowing that you're in the arms of Jesus now, and we will be reunited with you again some day. You had such a sweet and gentle spirit about you, and we will remember you with a smile. Thanks for blessing us with the wonderful person you always were to us. You will be missed greatly, and thought of often. We pray that God's grace blanket you, Aunt Lori and Uncle Bill and your family during this difficult time of such immense loss. Words can't come close to expressing our sorrow for you. Just know that we love you so much, and you are in our prayers!

Dear Aunt Lori and Uncle Bill,
We love you guys so much, and want you to know how sorry we are that you've had to say "farewell for now" to your dear sweet son. We cannot imagine the pain you're going through. But, we also know that your faith is strong, and that you know that Charles is "home" with his Heavenly Father, and someday you'll be reunited with your brother in Christ. What a glorious day that will be! With all our love to you, Melinda, Terri and Billy. Debbie, Phill and Cody Binggeli

I am so sorry that your last request to me was one I could not complete. The Lord had a different agenda for you and so he took you home. Know that I will always love you and you will be sorely missed by your mother and me and all your family. RIP son. See you soon.

To our precious son, your life was so short. We cherish the 38 years we were privileged to know you here in this life. It's not the time we are given, whether short or long, but it is the memories and love and meaning that we give to others. You covered that with everyone you knew to the fullest. Your life was full. It's not what you take with you when you go, it's what you leave behind and you left so much to be cherished by all who knew you. Rest in the arms of Jesus, our precious C.E. See you soon. Love ya. Mom and Dad.
