I just got the call a minute ago that my good friend Charlie
has passed away.
Charlie was one of the loveliest men I have ever met.
Always smiling, always a joke, always there to make you smile.
Charlie leaves a wife behind, an alcoholic wife.
Charlie never had any children although I know he loved them.
Charlie battled cancer courageously for the last 4.5 years.
We had a benefit for him 14 months ago that no one at the time
thought he would even be able to attend. He did. He sang.
I loved Charlie many, many people did.
Charlile was only 45.
May God hold him in the palm of his hands.......

I know God will hold him and keep him Patty! What wonderful memories you have of him .... treasure them always!

He loved Karokee (sp), he was really good at it too.
Right now all I can see is him in my head and he is singing
"Take a letter Maria."
I'll bet he is singing it to all the angels right now and I am
lucky enough to be hearing it too.
He will be missed.

The death of a true friend, someone you love and respect, is such a profound loss. I'm so sorry. You will see him again. May I recommend a book I've read at least 100 times. The first 10 pages are a bit dry but necessary. "Embraced by the Light". I believe every work in this book.

Your are in thoughts and prayers as well.
