We're remembering Charlie and your family in our thoughts and prayers, Faye. You have our deepest sympathy.
We loved seeing Charlie at St. Mary's and talking with him after Church, a lot of stories about fishing. On a lighter note, Eddie was a freshman at LHS and Charlie was a senior. For initiation, Charlie and friends held Eddie out the second floor school window by his ankles. He thought they will drop him onto the pavement below. Who knew that years later, Charlie and Eddie would become friends. May the God of healing ease your pain, may the God of grace lift your grief, and may the God of love comfort your heart. May the God of hope fill your soul with peace and sustain you always.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.
-John 14:27 ❤
