Another year without this man. He left a legacy within his wife and five children. What a blessing it is to see such honor and loyalty they've been taught by this man. It's been an honor to be a part of this little family and witness the bond between them. What a close loving family he and his wife created. Holly, Andrew, Aleena, Brandon and Charles Matthew- your father is so proud of how you continue to show the world how much he loved you and that he raised you with such honesty. You loved this man and he knew it. Teresa, continue to love him and make him proud. Continue to protect the children you raised. Continue to live the life he wanted for you and do not let negativity or hatefulness stop you. Remember what Charlie wanted and what made him happy. You and the children you two raised so well were his life and he made that very clear to those who knew him. Thank you to all that support and love his wife and children. It's the highest way to honor this man since he was taken from them. They obviously had his entire heart and life. May they continue to stay strong and stay close. Thank God they don't live with regret or jealousy as that turns to hate and misery. Continue to be the example the world needs. You've done an amazing job this first year without him.

My condolences to the Kondek Family for your great loss. There usually is not much that anyone can say to at a time like this, that will make you feel better. I pray in time that the pain you feel now will turn to joy when you think of your husband and father, and how much he enjoyed life, his family and friends & think of the wonderful future God promises us. A world without crime and violence, but with peace and everlasting life (Psalms 37:9-11,29). In the meantime may you find the strength to face tomorrow without him in the love that surrounds you today ~ Linda

I'm so sorry Aleena for the lost of your daddy. My heart hurst just thinking of the pain you and your family are going thru. I'm wordless because I know how much it hurst to loose your most greatest first love, your daddy. I know the empty space he left in your heart. Always remember him and make him proud of you.
