So sorry to hear of Charles' early passing. He was a source of counsel at MEI and a person of class. He was a model for Christians everywhere.

Belinda and family: I wish I could find the words that would heal the enormous hole that has become your heart. Only the Creator can do that. Until the sun shines again in your lives, know that I'm lifting you up in prayer, sending supplications to Our God on your behalf for peace, comfort and finally, acceptance. May He hold you in the safety of his omniscient, omnipotent hand. Just remember, you can't get to better days unless you make it through the night. I will pray you find your way through the darkness. Ever your friend and colleague...

Dearest Belinda --- It has taken me several days to digest the sudden loss of such a phenomenal man of God. Charles was an awesome husband, father, son, brother and friend. DEACON Charles always carried himself with such class, courage and charisma. Although a proud man, he was never prideful and went out of his way to offer a common touch to anyone he encountered. In the days ahead, dwell on the wonderful memories that you shared for more than 30 plus years. He was one in a million and he will be remembered forever by the many people whose lives he touched. May God our father keep you, Ashlyn and Charles II in His loving care.

To the Coleman family and Charles' dearest friends - may God bless you all in this sad time. I, too, worked with Charles at MEI. In Ireland we often said "your dearest love is not lost, he is not lost at all, he merely walked through Heaven's gate and left that gate ajar." My family and I offer our sincere condolences.
