Mr.Charles, I met you because of your wonderful daughter chonita. She has grown to be an older sister to me so that basically made us family! I was known by you as "light bright" and I always went out of my way to wave to you when you were picking my sis up from work at the time. She always spoke about you with adoration and the love she has for both parents. I can only imagine while your family was growing up you instilled unity. Mr.charles thank you for being a great father to my friend, the beauty her soul possess comes from not The Lord but you as well. You will continue to live through all the people you have brought joy to. 🫶🏽 May you rest peacefully

Uncle Charles, Thank you for always being there for me and the family. I will NEVER FORGET the countless times when my parents were hospitalized and whenever we told you, you would beat us to the hospital and stand guard outside their rooms. Just like a loyal soldier on duty. I will forever cherish the many family dinners together. And the road trips to Dublin growing up and as adults. The many, many conversations about the Bible. So many sweet memories. Thank you for loving us. Forever Family! Love never dies. Love always your niece
