My heart is heavy for the loss of a wonderful cousin that I grew up with!! He was a person that you could always count on. Full of laughter and advice when you need it. He was not only a cousin but a neighbor. He loved his family!! I remember going to church with him and Rita. It was a blessing to share the word of God with him. The music that him, Uncle Dudley and Daddy played were fun memories. Listening to him preach at Daddy's funeral, knowing that he believed that we would meet again in the glory of Our Lord and Savior. There are many things that I could say about Charles. Hearing of his death at such a young age has put me in shock. My thoughts and prayers are will his family. I love you guys. Charles will be missed.
