  22. My heart is broken into my childhood friend that I spent so much time with. Charles was one of the best skaters in the gang. He got me over my fear of water by pushing me in the 12 ft end Of the rec park pool. He turned me onto AC/DC and ZZ Top in the third grade. Always a gentlemen that would have your back. The neighborhood will never be the same without you my friend. Charles, Claire and Alex Randy and Stephen I will be holding you close to my heart and lifting you up during this difficult time. Rest easy my friend you will never be older than 55 and you still had your good looks. You know me I had to put a positive spin at the end.with all my love your life time friend Glenda.

  23. Stinker, we can not imagine our lives without you. You have been one of my biggest supporters my entire life and you always loved me unconditionally. Becca feels like you were a best friend of hers and y’all had such a strong bond over cars and were always joking together. You always were more of a brother to me than my cousin. Our boys always looked forward to seeing you and always asked to come see you. We are devastated and you are sorely missed by all of us. We will never forget all the support, hugs, laughs, and love you gave all of us. We are truly sorry to all of the family for this sudden loss. We all love you so much and will be here to continue to support your whole family. Rest easy my brother

    Love you always,
    Cara, Becca, Bristol & Braxton

  24. Charles often you gave me a home away from my home, and always showed me the same unconditional love you showed your own son Alex, who also became my brother. I always felt like no matter what problem or situation arose in my life, I could come to you for advice or wisdom. Im gonna miss you dearly, as i know we all are. You are gone too soon, but not soon will you be forgotten. I love ya buddy see ya soon.
