Dear Judith, as sad as we are with Charles sudden loss, it pales in comparison to the depth of our pain and grief loosing your only child.
Charles was a loving, thoughtful, caring son, nephew, cousin, and friend.
His love, admiration, and respect for his Mom was admirable.
Charles was also dedicated, and committed to his involvement in his role in the Church.
We will remember him fondly, and trust that the cherished memories of him, also knowing that we share in her grief, will bring some measure of comfort to his Mom - our sister Judith. Our love, and continued prayers. Carolyn, Phil Roberts & Family, and Jennifer G

I watched Charles grow up in the church to become a wonderful Christian man. He was a very gentle soft spoken person. When he was young, he helped with a Haunted House at church and played a monster. We went to Wet n" Wild several times. He was serious about training Acolytes on the altar. He will be sorely missed. May God Rest His Soul. Our sympathy to the family. Virginia, Becky, and Debbie
