May God's hand keep you all protected and totally comforted knowing Charlie's travels and work here is done. He is no longer hurting in his humanly body we are given for this temporary journey. He is living it up now in his heavenly home with those who have gone before him and His Lord in heaven.
We will miss you my brother, we had one heck of a journey over the years and wish no other memories.
