I have been away for awhile and I was shocked to hear of Charles’ passing. He was a good man and he will be missed by all who knew him.
It was truly wonderful getting to know Charles and Denise in the last few months and seeing their devotion to one another. My thoughts and prayers are with their families.
Rita, I guess it’s been 35 years since I’ve seen you or your brothers. Mother and I did visit your Dad when your Mom passed away. I am so sorry about Charles and his wife.
With love, Debbie
Although I have never met any of Charles’s family; you have been in my thoughts and prayers. I am Denise’s first cousin. The obstacles this family has indured over the past few years would have been unbearable to most. May you take comfort in knowing that both Denise and Charles are now pain free and safe in God’s manison above. My families prayers are with you and may God Bless You.

You are missed and I could really use you right now. I know that things are going to work out but I wonder how you dealt with some of the pressures of being a father. I love you and I’m sorry for allowing people to poison me against you and allowing them to steal so much time from us.
