To the Cantu family:
My memory of Charlie was a happy kid, always smiling and full of energy. I remember the times that Aunt Estella would bring the cousins to the ranch. We would run around, play, and feed the cows. We had the best times of our lives. As a grown man, Charlie had the same smile, kindness, and caring for others. Rest in peace Charlie.
May the Lord be with you all, now and forever.
With love and
my deepest sympathy, Danny

Charlie is gone.
It was not supposed to be this way. Our family has buried too many young. Too many before their time.
I remember him with a steady laugh and calm eyes. He was good at golf. Better than I could ever be. I stood back and watched, amazed at his skill. He carried happiness in him, and those near him felt it.
We were not close, not like he was with my brothers and sisters. Still, I knew him as a good man. A man who did no harm. A man who lived with quiet joy.
The news of his death struck hard. Frank is gone. Aaron is gone. Now Charlie too. The losses pile up, and the hurt grows. People say time heals. It does not. The pain dulls, but it never leaves. Each day brings a reminder. Each day goes on.
We will go on too. But we will go on missing him.
Find Peace Charlie.
