I send my condolences to the family at this truly difficult time. Our heavenly Father has promised to soon put an end to all sickness, and death forever. (Isaiah 25:8; Rev.21:4) At John 5:28,29 we are promised that all those in the memorial tombs will come out to be resurrected, raised back to life. May you find comfort in these wonderful promises from God and his Son, Christ Jesus.

So sorry for your loss. Although, I'm sure you all are happy he's not suffering any more.
Charles had remained my friend for 30 years and I could always count on him to call me on the holidays and my birthday every year. He always had a shoulder and a listening ear when times were tough for me, and always a stupid joke to make me laugh. He was sincerely a TRUE friend and I will miss him terribly!!!
