A Life Well Lived

Please remember our family
as we travel and gather to celebrate a life well lived.
A gentle man.
A husband.
A father, grandfather and father-in-law.
A brother and brother-in-law.
An uncle.
A respected attorney.
A loyal friend.
An avid gardner.
A pillar of faith.

Charlie,
we rejoice that you have been healed and made whole again.
You are joyfully reunited with other dearly departed family members.
Gone from this earth, but never forgotten.
Always loved.
Thank you for always loving us.

  1. This is such a wonderful way to look at someone's end journey. We are looking at my mother-in-law's death in this way too. This is going to sound terrible, but watching my mom suffer as she is makes me want to see her feel this peace! If she can feel it in life, then that would be wonderful, but I'm not sure she can.
    Prayers to your family.
