Uncle Charlie was always so happy and fun to be around. He was kind to everyone, and rarely spoke poorly of anyone. His laugh would fill up a room! He is now in a much better place, where his earthly pain has been lifted from him. My sincere condolences on your loss. He will be missed but never forgotten.
