Fosberry, all of Worcester; his maternal grandparents, George and Paulette LaBarre of Auburn; his paternal grandmother, Claire Fosberry of Gloucester; many aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends.

To the Fosberry family.
I had the honor of playing AAA baseball with Charles. Over the years I never forgot Charles, for he was the sweetest person I´ve ever been around, genuinely. recently I ran into some old teammates & asked if they knew what he had been up to. & I was saddened with the news. I distinctly remember him winning the championship for us. & no matter what happened he would always have a smile on his face & would lift everyone up. What a beautiful soul he had. I aspire to one day be like Charles & he will forever be in my memory. God bless.

To this beautiful family, I wish you peace and remembrance of better times. I lost my Day on the 25th as well. In fact, he is on this page. My heart goes out to you as we also lost a young person in our family a few years back. We know He has a plan for us all but its just so difficult when not under normal circumstances and we have to watch the turmoil and pain. Take comfort in knowing the found peace and joy your young man is surrounded by at this moment. We are with you. God bless.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of the power of love. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief ...and unforgettable love. ---The journey to healing is long, the road often bumpy, but I promise you, there will be brightness in your days again. Allow yourself to feel what you feel, and take one day, one step at a time. --- In deepest empathy.
They are the words that cannot be found
streaming down our faces.
