Uncle Charlie, so many good memories of you! You were always a character and so glad I got to grow up with you in my life. We all wish we could have said our goodbyes in person, but know we love you and are thinking of you. May you find peace and happiness. I know there are many that came to greet you and help you cross over. Hugs and Kisses to you, until we all meet again someday.
