To Everyone,

  This is a very sad situation…but we just have to look at his life and think about all the many lives that Charles has touched while he was here.
Think about the good times that you have had, because you know that Charles would have wanted everyone to remember him that way.

To myfriendsandme,

    The last thing you should be worried about is Charles, he is doing fine. God called him home because he needed him there. I know that everyone asked the question of why Charles, but God only has the answer to that. I know that you and your friends miss him but as long as he is in Gods
Hands, he will be just fine. I just ask that everyone pray..pray..pray for the family. Remember “God” has his back!!

myfriendsandme, I am sorry about your friend and how you are feeling. You are not the first to feel this way. When you have time and you’re up to it read 1 Corinthians 15. Maybe this will show you that your questions has been around for many years. Find strength in God’s Word.

Myfriendsandme, You seem to be a bit young to have a crisis in Faith,but it happens to just about everyone at some point in life. I’m not what you would call a very religious person,I don’t go to church very often with the wife but I believe there is a GOD,in fact I know there is GOD but how I know for a fact there is one is just for me to know,everyone has to find out for them selves. Your friend is just sleeping and at the end of time he will awake to be judged on all his actions as everyone will be.Look at it from an earthly point of view if it helps you understand better. It’s a law of physics,you can’t destroy anything ,you can only change it from one form to another and your friend has made the first part of transition. Your friend is still here in memories and thoughts and you will see him again.

Charles was my best friend. I miss him alot. Even tho people say there is a heaven, what if it is just all a big lie. I believe in God and Heaven, but what if we die and it seems like nothing but black for all eternity. Or what if we die and our spirit stays to haunt and warn the people of earth. What if don’t we even have a spirit. I am really worried about Charles and his family and I hope if there is a heaven, Charles is happily resting in peace up there, with no pains, or worries, or fears. Just him and his happy self.

I can remember driving around with a car load of friends,most that didn’t have a car and the others just wanted to be with their friends. A care free and naive time of life that was enjoyable most of the time and we really didn’t worry too much about what might happen. I can remember one time getting 10 into that old chevy and making a run to the old root beer stand on springhill,never once thinking what would happen if we had a wreck.Mercy ! it scares me now though thinking of it.

Jey Carl, Felt you were worthy of a jab over your terminology. HA! Hope your well man! I realize how tragic this is. I wonder daily how I’ve made it this far. By the Grace of God. May God be with this young man, as well as his family and freinds. Why so many in 1 vehicle?

Well hello MeAmerican!been awhile since I talked to you. You still giving Rose the dickens are have you mellowed out? I mentioned my past mistakes as a teen and referred to them as boners to show we all have made mistakes when we were young but not all of us had to pay such tragic consequences. A loss of a child is a very hard thing to cope with,you never get over it,you get better but you never get over it. Been there and have done that! Good morning to you MeAmerican and the rest out there.

Man, this is so terrible.  It always saddens me when a young life is lost. In my prayers.
