Thessalonians 4:14-17 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
My heart is saddened by your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you thru this time of mourning. I am still in shock and awe of the news of his passing it's difficult to digest. Charlie always had a big smile, a great sense of humor, and an outgoing personality he was so full of life. No matter how I was feeling he always brought a smile to my face that is what I'm truly going to miss. It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. I am going to miss you my friend you are with our Father now may you rest in peace.
