I am so sorry for your loss of Charles. Please accept my condolences.
To help alleviate the pain in my heart at times like this, I turn to the Bible. Psalm 55:22 promises that God will sustain us if we throw our burdens on Him.
I look forward to seeing Charles again during the resurrection (John 5:28,29). I’m sure Charles will be enjoying his favorite pastimes again.
I hope these scriptural thoughts bring you the same comfort they have brought me.
Dawn and family, My thoughts are with you while you find ways to cope with your loss. Focus on the happy times and talk a lot of the funny moments you remember. Remember he will always be with you in your heart.
So sorry for the loss of your Dad, Brother, Uncle and cousin.
Dawn so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. If there is anything I can do please let me know. May God be with you all.
