Such a tragic loss. He is happy with his new life resting in the arms of Jesus and being reunited with family and friends. We miss you.
Condolences and prayers for the family.
Sarah, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
May you rest in Heaven, Charlie. We enjoyed many fun times together with you and Debbie. Those will be good memories as you are now gone from all of us.
So very sorry for your family’s loss. Those we love deeply become a part of us forever.
I send my deepest sympathy to your family.
Such a wonderful man. So many memories through the years. He will be missed, but so thankful he was able to experience such a long and productive life. I look forward to seeing him again in Heaven with my Dad and other family.
I pray for all the family and friends during this time of transition. May God bless each of you.
