For the family of Charlie and all who loved him,
We just want to say we are so very sorry for your loss! All of you have are deepest sympathy.
We feel truly blessed to have known, loved and had Charlie in our lives! Charlie was truly a wonderful person! We will miss him very much!
We know Charlie had many grandchildren & great grandchildren he loved very much! But we only had the experience of seeing the bond with his granddaughter, Shelby what a loving bond they had from the beginning and that bond of love continued, then Liam came along, and yes that bond was just as strong! Watching Charlie with Shelby and Liam was so special!
They would go to Charlie's house or Charlie would go to their house.
On the occasion I had the pleasure to watch them all spend time together, you could just be a witness of how close they all were. And always made time to be together. You could see the love
and joy in their eyes for one another, just spending time together!
Just want to say to all of you, the love you have and wonderful memories of Charlie,
nobody can ever take that away from any of you, hold tight to that, I pray it will give all of you comfort. Also, will be praying that God is there for all of you, to see you through in your time of need & mend your broken hearts! Wish we could take your pain away. And you all have one another to lean on and help each other through, share memories and that way Charlie will always continue on in your hearts and memories!
Rest in peace Charlie, gone but never will be forgotten!
With all our love and will be praying for all of you!
