Daddy...
I cant believe I'm standing here,
Saying my goodbyes
To someone that meant the world to me,
My Dad that always looked at me with so much love in his eyes!

Anyone who loved him will certainly know how I feel today...
My Dad was the sunshine of my life & the strength of his family...
He could light up the room on the darkest days & give you laughs or comfort just when you needed it! He told those stories of he & siblings, especially his brothers and close friends.... Stories that he cherished and those that yet true but wanted us to learn from....
He always said here's some advice take it or leave it but you have to make up your own decision ...I'm telling you from experience!
He tried to instill the best in us all...

You are my hero and now you are my perfect ""Angel"!
I know you will watch over us...your precious children...
you loved us so much and made it know to us all the time ....
He loved his sweetheart even though she finally had to get a little tough for the good of him...
Ms. Dianne I have told you many many times but again "Thank You so much for taking such loving care of my daddy!

I Love You Daddy.... you will forever be with me in every breath I take and ever step I make throughout my life's journey! You will forever be in my heart!

Im not going to say goodbye to you today but as i always told you..
I'm not saying goodbye... I'll say " I'll see you in a little while!" and you always replied "Ok"...
Take your wings and fly to heaven
To eternal happiness and your reward, through the big pearly gates in the sky...
I know you will be there waiting for us and our reunion in just a little while....

Rest in Peace I Love You Forever,
Tammy

R.I.P. paw paw Charles
I might not have went seen you like everybody else but I loved you til the end of time. I miss you unconditionally but i know I have another beautiful angel watching over me. I'm happy that ur gone in a way because I know your no longer suffering in pain. God only puts us on earth for a short period of time anyway an then comes back to get us to spend eternity with him in peace. I hope ur up there havin fun with momma an everyone else, teaching them how to will an deal. Just like u did with all ur kids and grand kids. You made a huge impact on my life and I'll never forget the talks and the time we spent together. I'll never forget that the first time I ever rode a motorbike was with you, but I haven't rode one since. I'll miss those stories that you used to always tell us. But I'll do what you've always taught us to do, be strong threw these times because one day we'll be together again. Until then I'll miss an love u with all my heart. I'm gunna keep my head held high an wipe away the tears.

Fly high in the sky and watch over our family as u always did.
Love you forever and always
In lovin memory of Charles Ray Chamberlain aka "Good Time Charlie"

Well Daddy, it's been 2 weeks since you left to go to heaven. I can not began to say how much you mean to me and how bad I miss you! I know for sure that you are watching over me, most of all you kept your promise to me! You always said you was going to get me a baby, and now Michael and I will be adopting our little boy that is due November 25, 2012! His name will be Michael Charles Dee Burns! I got to hear his heartbeat for the first time and all I could think of is how happy you would be to know you will have another grandson. I only wish you were here to play the guitar and sing to him just like you did for me. Those are times that will forever stay in my mind and heart! I will try my best to make beautiful memories for him as you have done for me. I miss our heart to heart talks. But I know that just because I cant see you doesn't mean your not there listening, I know you hear my every word! As always and forever more "I LOVE YOU DADDY WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL!" YOU WAS AND ARE THE PERFECT DADDY FOR ME!! Your Baby Girl, Ritalyn

Thank you for sharing Mr. Charlie with us! Or as Mr. Frank would say, "Mr. Chollie." We first met Mr. Charlie when he picked up Nemmo on his first day of school right after he turned 3 in 2001. Mr. Charlie has been so good to Nemmo and the rest of the kids. We enjoyed the Chinese dinner dates with Mr. Charlie and Mr. Frank. Nemmo always looked forward to them. We're going to miss good ole Mr. Chollie! Prayers for strength and peace are being sent your way.

Mr. Charlie will always be special to us. He and Mr. Frank took such good care of our daughter, Lori, when she rode Mr. Charlie's bus when she was at Oak Grove and then again at Prairieville Middle. We always felt she was so safe and well taken care of when she was on Mr. Charlie's bus. He was a wonderful man and had a special way with "special" children. He will be missed. We will be praying for your family.
