There is forever a whole in our hearts after losing you. I promised you you wouldn't be alone, that parts of us are going with you, that you're the one to go ahead and watch for us. I wish I could still be holding your hand and watching over you, but I now pray that God takes special care of you. We love you more than you knew. You were a solid brother to Oscar and me, part of our family, and we just can't wait to see you again.

Every Friendship is a small and imperfect echo of the triune God, who made us in his image to enjoy Friendship forever.
Friendship didn't come from us; it came from God and he gives us everything we need-through His word and His Spirit-to cultivate it well, for the glory of God. I often look at True Friendships as a blessing bestowed upon me from God. I often thought of you Chuck as my friend whom God has blessed me with to share special moments in our lives together. These moments are memories that I will carry with me for my lifetime. I often said to you, "You have more Friends than you realize and they care more than you know." You were surrounded by them throughout your life and you were surrounded by them even in death. Memories of you will remain in all our hearts for all our lifetimes, while we allow you to Rest In Peace. Condolences & Love, Sandra R Ulmer & Family
